Come help prep for the How 2 Holiday Blacksmithing hearts!

Friday 2/14 is How-To Holiday: Valentine’s Edition and there’s a bunch of prep work to do for the hearts.

I’m going to be in Ironworks prepping the blanks every night this week from ~6pm-until I get too tired, and if you want to help out and/or practice some key blacksmithing skills, you should stop by and move some metal!

Right now, we have 40 pieces of 3/8" square rod (about 4" each). For each piece, we’ll want to:

  • taper each end
  • draw out the tapers until the piece is ~10"ish long

Thanks @AdamT and @Lou!

We got 15 blanks about 75% done tonight.

Join in Tuesday, same bat time, same bat channel. It’s like taking the first half of the hook class for free 80 times!

Many thanks to @AdamT, @Lou, and @bjadms8!

32 heart blanks ready for Valentines day! We’ve only got 8 more blanks in need of prepping, so worst case scenario we’re now at a place where we could catch up on Friday if needed.

If the weather isn’t too bad tonight, I’ll be in for a final push!
