Learn how to forge your own belt buckle!
In this class students will challenge their skills of precision while creating a belt buckle that is both functional and decorative. This is a multi piece project where students will have to measure, cut, and punch holes through steel then line up the pieces so they can be riveted together. This class will focus on precision skills and aligning pieces together.
Task involved – shaping, hammering, punching, riveting, twisting, measuring, cutting, fitting
