Description

Come make your very own Scandinavian Knife! Choose your own Finnish blade and craft a custom handle from wood, leather, antler, and brass. This is a 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 or Coffee Table Making Classes! CLASS DETAILS: DAY 1 -- 03/15/22 -- 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 that we will go a little long (: DAY 2 -- 03/22/22 -- 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 tung 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! 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! Before signing someone up who is under the age of 18, please contact us to find out if this class is a good fit for them!
