Description

Hi all! We had our baby boy and now we're back at it in the shop with classes! Thank you for supporting us through our leave! -Dan, Theo, & Baby K ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This class is great opportunity to create something badass and beautiful by hand through wood and metal working. There will be minimal machine use during this class, if you're hoping to learn how to run bigger equipment; Check out our Cutting Board Classes! CLASS DETAILS: DAY 1 -- MONDAY 12/5/22 -- 6:00pm-9:00pm:  Welcome! We will begin by outlining the process of making the knives. Next you will pick your blades (many types available, from small carving blades, to drop points, to hunting).  We will then cut pieces to size, prep, and epoxy the materials for the handle.  The first day will be pretty full so its possible we will go a little long (: DAY 2 -- WEDNESDAY 12/7/22 -- 6:00pm-9:00pm: We will start shaping the handles. Rough shaping can be done on the bandsaw and with stationary sanders.  Finer shaping is done with files and hand sanding.  You will then finish sand at high grit. Lastly, we will finish with oil, poly, or wax. That's it! You've made a custom knife! GEAR: All materials, tools, and safety equipment are provided! Optional: Feel free to bring a lucky coin or cool piece of wood or metal and we'll see if we can incorporate it into your knife! CLASSMATES: Come solo and make friends! Have a buddy sign up with you! Come for date night! This class maxes at 10 students and is a good time for all adults! BREAK OUT THE OVERALLS: This class is dusty! Be sure to wear clothing you don't mind working in. You'll want to be comfortable! We will do our best to accommodate everything we can!
