GIFT VOUCHER Blacksmith Experience - FULL DAY
What you can expect from this Blacksmith Experience:
This gift voucher is for a FULL DAY
You will get the chance to hand forge a variety of products and generally experience the joy of shaping hot metal on a traditional Blacksmith’s anvil and under a power hammer. You get to take home various products that you have made from scratch and they will be talking pieces for years to come.
Be prepared to get your hands dirty, with this very ‘hands on’ experience, forging metal objects from upcycled materials. I will be there assisting you, one-on-one, helping you understand the art of raw blacksmithing.
No experience needed however it will definitely be helpful if you are comfortable using power tools, I will instruct you carefully and demonstrate the safe use of the tools and machinery, some of which you probably wouldn't have encountered before.
The main tools and machines used are:
A forge for heating the steel
An anvil and hand hammer
A power hammer
Angle grinders (cutting and surface grinding)
A belt grinder, sometimes known as a linisher
Wire wheel on a bench grinder
This GIFT VOUCHER is the ultimate gift experience - we will physically post you or the participant a voucher with a unique code that can easily be booked on our website.
I look forward to firing up the forge with you

What you will need to bring along to the course:
What you will need to bring along to the course:
-
Glasses if you need them for close-up work
-
An idea of which objects you might like to make
-
A water bottle to keep yourself hydrated throughout the day
-
A good sense of humour
I have allocated approximately a 1 hour lunch break, (it’s good to get some fresh air and have a proper break since the blacksmith workshop can be quite intense). so I encourage you to pop out somewhere local in Port Elliot like the Royal Hotel pub for a parmi or the famous Port Elliot Bakery.
Also, if you have any rail spikes you have picked up on your adventures, you are welcome to bring them along to create something with more sentimental value
