About this event

We will help you design, shape, heat treat and temper pieces of O1 tool steel, so they become useful tools. With simple metalworking tools and a MAPP gas torch you will be able to make a variety of useful tools. Some easily made tools are marking knives, awls, vtool, curved carving tools, turning hook tool, skew, pyramid tool and scrapers. The process is relatively simple, and the required tools are readily available. Just cut and grind the tool to the desired shape, heat it to red hot, quench in oil and then temper the tool in an oven. A small material fee will be charged.
