21 Sept 2024 Meeting

September Demonstrator

Steve Antonucci, our demonstrator in September, will be showing us how to make and use a hook tool. Here is how Steve describes the demo: “I will be demonstrating some very basic blacksmithing techniques to forge a hook from a rod to shape then quickly turn a handle and use the hook to hollow out something like an end grain cup. 

Depending on time, I sometimes have people from the audience come up and give it a try as part of the hollowing. I usually bring a few finished hooks for sale, but I will walk people through everything they need to DIY make one.”
