Meeting Place

A warm welcome to all (over 50s) for activities, chat and refreshments every Tuesday from 1:00 to 3:00pm. This is a ‘drop-in’ kind of group and also a friendly group that you can introduce a friend to. Refreshments will be provided including cakes and biscuits. There will be some activities on offer both weekly and monthly for those who want them; if you don’t then that is fine too. There is no pressure. If chat is all you want then there will be plenty of that too! We all know how formidable it can be joining a new group. If you are thinking of coming along but the thought of entering alone is making you hesitant then all you have to do is , who will arrange for someone to meet you at the door. We look forward to meeting you at the Meeting Place!

Forge Your Own Kitchen Knife – Blacksmithing Workshop in Leeds

This day course will introduce you to the basics of blacksmithing and hand forge work with Jacek Robótka of Jorgen Craft. This is one day class concentrating on the particular techniques of forging a small kitchen knife. The blade shape will be based on Viking era knife find from Birka, grave Bj 903.Starting with fire control and hand hammer work, you will learn carbon steel forging. We will forge the blade and then tang, we then work the edge down to a thin section and forge the blade bevel. You will then heat treat your blades in 3 processes (normalising, hardening and tempering). You will then clean up the blades on a grinder so that they are ready for you fit to a pre made handle and then finally sharpen and strop to a razor’s edge.
