CLASS: Forging an Axe

THIS CLASS IS FULL, BUT CLICK HERE TO JOIN THE WAITLIST!

$580.00

Saturday and Sunday,
May 24-25, 2025
9 am – 4 pm

In this class, we will forge an axe out of a square bar of high-carbon steel, stamp it with your initials, harden and temper it and grind and polish it to a razor edge. It will become your go-to axe to swing whenever chopping wood becomes necessary. The class incorporates both hand-forging and the use of a hydraulic press and a power hammer. The addition of power equipment adds another layer of skills, not to mention the sheer excitement of moving a lot of hot steel in a fast yet controlled manner.

This is a 2-day class (Saturday and Sunday). The price is $580, which includes all steel, safety equipment, and an axe handle.

Description

PLEASE NOTE: Oregon governor’s office has allowed a partial opening of businesses, so Bridgetown Forge is pleased to announce the re-starting of smithing classes. However, to insure student’s and staff safety, we have introduced a series of measures to minimize the risk of transmission.

  • All classes are limited to 8 students, to allow proper distancing.
  • Hand sanitizer will be supplied and its use encouraged; shared tools, if any, will be disinfected periodically.
  • Door knobs, chairs and other frequently touched spots will be periodically sanitized.
  • Open bay doors and windows and industrial fans will assure efficient and steady ventilation at all times.
  • Students will be verbally screened via email for potential COVID-19 exposure 24 hours before class date, and again verbally before start of class, to minimize everyone’s chance or exposure.

We appreciate your understanding of the necessity to take these extra precautions during the ongoing pandemic
