This class is being given at the Touchstone Center for Crafts, Farmington,
PA (about 60 miles SSE of Pittsburg). The tuition for the class is $500.
(there may be other fees).
Tom Latane will be teaching a class: Complex Hand Forging: A Bench Vise
The class runs August 8-12, 2011. Students will forge a bench vise with 3"
jaws starting with 1:" square bar. The process will include forging the
complex jaw shapes, welding steel on the jaws, forge brazing parts to build
the box, and making the mounting bracket. Students can choose between
having a machinist cut threads on the screw and box or brazing square
threads from a "c" clamp to forged parts.
A picture of the vise can be seen on the BGCM FaceBook page
A friend asked me to post this as the class only has 1 student signed up so
far.
