Damascus Clinic with Bill Poor Nov. 22, 23
Come join myself and Bill Poor for some Damascus making at my shop in Dickens, Tx.
Bill has been swinging a hammer since he was big enough to pick one up. He has years of experience forging shoeing tools, blacksmith tools, knives and some of the most unique Damascus patterns in the world.
Each individual will make the pattern he chooses (within reason). This billet can then be carried home and made into a knife, jewelry, spurs, buckles ect. We will only be making Damascus not finished knives or blades. Bill has tons of knowledge when it comes to blacksmithing and metallurgy and will be glad to answer any of those questions you may have. I will help answer any questions that pertain to pocket knives, bits, spurs and engraving.
This will be be a two day event Friday and Saturday November 22 and 23.
Class will start around 8am
