In this weekend class, students will learn a few fundamental metalworking and woodworking techniques to create a series of small marking and layout tools. In the making of a marking knife, small bevel gauge, and a square, we’ll learn about different metals and their applications (tool steels, brass, and bronze), learn to to file, grind, heat treat, drill, hammer, sand, and cut our metals, and we’ll make wooden handles by incorporating cutting and shaping techniques using the bandsaw, drill press, sanders, and various hand tools. This class will be a practical way for any woodworker to dip their toes into metalworking.
