Looking for classes or instruction

[Nathan Hawkes]

I was wondering if there were any classes in the northern Massachusetts or southern New Hampshire area. I've only done a few years of blacksmithing and have been interested in starting to dive into some knives. I'm not necessarily looking to forge my blades as I was thinking I would like to start with learning the basics. I figured I'd ask here first before diving to far into youtube land

Look at the "New England School of Metalwork". It has an excellent bladesmithing program.

Also, a trip to the Ashokan Seminar ( or one of the other NEBG events) will help you build serious skills.

They have an ABS Hammer In scheduled for mid-July. Very affordable.

NESM is definitely the way to go up there
