Bladesmith Adriaan Gerber ( see his website: www.adriaangerberknives.com ) will be your instructor.
When: September 27, 28 and 29th (Fri., Sat., & Sun.), 10AM-4PM
Reserve your place in the class now, as space is limited.
Willowbrook Village is again offering its popular class
in knife making for eight students. Students also have the choice of focusing
on an alternative project of fireplace tools: a shovel, poker and rake; each
tool can be embellished with twists or a bird cage detail on the handle end. The
class will take place at our smithy with the addition of four portable forges.
Students will be provided with all the tools and materials needed.
Adriaan Gerber, a master blade-smith and a blacksmith who
makes knives, swords, halberds and other edge tools for clientele all over the
world will instruct students for a tuition cost of $325 for 18 hours spread out
over a three day weekend ( 10-4PM each day). The class, assisted by new
director, Bob Schmick, will include forge safety, fire making, hammering, shaping,
cutting and heat treating in addition to completing the project(s).
Students will create a fine knife from spring steel.
Students will file, harden, and temper their knives. They will make holes in
the tang to receive a handle. If time permits, another edge tool, perhaps a
tomahawk, may be attempted and completed
with spring steel.
