Gas Forge Workshop April 2016 is FULL!

Instructor: Jim Moenck
Note: the price may change slightly when the final costs come in.  Steel has not gone up, and I’m picking up the parts for the burner next week and won’t know the cost of them until I do. Final price will be determined in the March issue of the Forum, and/or by contact with registered members.
Class size: 8 max, 6 minimum. Waiting list after that with priority by receipt of registration
This is a one day workshop during which we will make a venturi burner style gas forge. The forge will be a single burner model. The body will be approximately 10″ diameter by 12″ deep, made from a round steel tube. This forge will be insulated with a 1″ blanket of ceramic fiber, coated with a cementuous finish by participants at home after the class. Fire brick will be used for the floor and sliding doors on each end, making it possible to pass the stock through, to heat the center of a work piece. The forge is fastened to a saddle, and can  be bolted to a table surface for stability. Most of the fabrication for these forges will be done prior to class by the instructor. This forge is a simple, economical forge that is easy to transport and fun to use.
Tools and Equipment:  Minimal tooling will be required.  Students will be contacted prior to class if they need to bring any tools.
Safety Equipment: Safety glasses & ear plugs are mandatory. Other safety equipment includes: a respirator if you have one, cotton clothing, gloves, leather apron, and leather boots or shoes that come up over your ankle. If you do not have a respirator, 3M masks will be provided.
Lunch Arrangements: Bring your own lunch, or eat at a local establishment. There are several spots to eat east of Menards on Hwy 8. There is a microwave in the shop you can use to warm up food if you would like to. Bring your own beverages to stay hydrated during the day (non-alcoholic, of course).
