Rob is a great teacher that will give you the freedom to learn basic skills or go on to the next level in blacksmithing. If you have already had a basic class – bring your ideas of what you would like to try next, and Rob will work with you to make it happen – at least as much as is possible.

Chuck Cook started making knives in 2005. He is pretty handy with hammer and anvil but he specialize in knives and things that cut! He uses 1095, 1084, 5160 and a few other high carbon steels to make knives because this steel can be used to make hard use knives.
A minimum of a beginners blacksmithing workshop is required.
Make sure to wear closed toed shoes and dress in layers, as they the shop gets very warm. While the knife is cooling is a good time to run to Jac’s or bring your own lunch.
Make your very own cutting board while learning how to use Anvil’s power tools. We will cover using the planer, ripping on the table saw, cross cutting on the miter saw, curved cuts on the bandsaw, doing a decorative edge with the router, and using a sander to finish the project.
This is a great chance to get to know, or brush up on the most powerful tools in the shop. This class is a pre-requisite for open shop access and you get to take home your cutting board. This class is for anyone 12 and older.
Join us for a not so basic blacksmithing class. Learn how to swing a hammer, and gain a working understanding of blacksmith tools and techniques including tapering, flattening, dishing and bending. $75/class. This is a pre-requisite for the knife and tong classes.

Chuck Cook was a finalist in the History Channels “Forged in Fire” – he did a great job of showing off his skills but more than that he showed what a great attitude he has – a great man to take a class from!
