SUMMARY:Intermediate Welding: Introduction to TIG welding
DESCRIPTION:Click here to register:\nhttps://www.redmountainmakers.org/event-6238997 \n\n\n  \n   \n    \n   \n   TIG welding is most commonly used to weld thin sections of stainless steel and non-ferrous metals such as aluminum\, magnesium\, and copper alloys. The process grants the operator greater control over the weld than competing processes such as MIG welding\, allowing for stronger\, higher quality welds.\n  \n  \n   Students will have the opportunity to learn the basic techniques of the TIG process and practice with feedback from an expert. It is recommended to take the basic Intro to welding (MIG) class before this TIG class.\n  \n  \n\n  \n   \n    \n     What to wear:\n    \n   \n   At RMM\, you must dress safely and appropriately. Arrive for class in all-natural fiber clothing (100% cotton)\, long pants\, and closed-toe\, closed-heel shoes with socks that protect up to the ankle. Long hair must be tied back. Nylon\, polyester\, spandex\, or other synthetics are not allowed around machines\, equipment\, or processes that can produce hot fragments\, sparks\, or flames. Additional protective gear will be provided as needed. \n\n  \n   \n    About the Instructor\n   \n   :\n   \n    Stephen Charles is a former Welding Engineer with many years of experience in production welding and custom fabrication. He has taught hundreds of beginners in the basics of welding and fabrication. Also\, he’s pretty funny\, so if you don’t have a sense of humor there will be many moments of awkward silence.

SUMMARY:Advanced Blacksmithing Forging A Sword - 3 day Course
DESCRIPTION:Click here to register:\nhttps://www.redmountainmakers.org/event-6254735 \n\n\n  \n  This is it\, the ultimate blacksmith class\, forging a real sword from scratch! The sword is perhaps one of the most commonly associated items produced by a blacksmith. For thousands of years this tool has helped shape the world and conquered nations\, even today it is still romanticize through literature and entertainment. Within this class\, students will follow along with the professor and will challenge students to use their skills in the construction of a historically accurate sword. Students will create every piece from start to finish with all the tools and supplies they will need at their disposal. In part I of the class\, Students will start by forming the basic shape of the sword\, followed by forging the hilt which include components such as the handle\, pommel\, and cross guard and various hardware in part II. In part III students will work on crafting the handle working with leather and woods and perhaps horn\, bone\, antler\, or ivory- then working on fitting everything. Finally at part IV the blade and components will go through various final heat treatments and acid washes before being put together as a final piece. This course is an advanced lesson involving more work due to its larger size and multiple step process. It is strongly recommended that those wanting to take the class first consider attending a knife course prior to this class so that it’s understood what to expect when making a sword.\n  \n\n  NOTE: Forging a Sword is a 3 day course. This class will require students to meet at the very least on four separate days with the professor. It will be important to use the time between classes meetings for some out of class work. As such students will have access to the shop during Red Mountain Makers regularity scheduled hours of operation between meetups. It is strongly recommended that this extra time is utilized to refine work that time will prohibit during class. As a bonus\, One month free access to the shop will be granted after class resolves!\n  \n\n  Task involved – (drawing/stretching\, measuring\, hammering\, beveling\, forming\, bending\, cutting\, penning\, woodworking\, filing\, slitting\, punching\, grinding\, sanding\, sharpening\, assembling\, burn fitting\, fluting\, carving\, oil quenching\, normalization\, tempering\, heat bluing\, oiling\, this is it\, the ultimate blacksmith class!\n  \n\n  Homework- continue to refine by rough grinding and sanding the shape to the set parameters.\n  \n\n  \n   \n    \n     About the Instructor\n    \n    :\n   \n   Classes taught by\n   \n    Kenneth of Fire & Brimstone Forge\n   \n  \n  \n\n  \n   \n    \n   \n  \n  \n\n  \n   \n    Age\n   \n   : there are no age restrictions to the class.
