Forging the Mouse Hawk

Instructor Mark Grimes

Join me for a fun class where you will learn to make a small tomahawk from a railroad spike! The Mouse Hawk is perfect for throwing or chopping kindling. You will learn how to upset the metal, use the pein of the hammer to move metal, pierce the spike using a chisel and heat treat to harden the edge. 

Have some fun, learn some new skills and go home with a Mouse Hawk from Homestead Blacksmith!

Instructor will provide all necessary equipment and supplies, beverages and snacks. 

You will need to wear/ bring long pants, leather shoes or boots (boots preferred), gloves, safety glasses/ hearing protection and face mask (if desired). Please bring your own lunch. You may bring your own hammer/ tolls if you prefer. 

Classes will take place at Homestead Blacksmith
