Principles of Blacksmithing: Hook Making with Patrick Quinn

This class is designed to teach the basics of hand forging tapers and bending stock. You will learn how to stand at the anvil, hold the hammer, and forge basic tapers. We will go over four-sided square tapers, two-sided tapers, curling over the horn, small scrolls, and right angle bends. Students will make “S” hooks and “drive in” hooks.
