How to get certified

Certification process is being reviewed, all users will require recertification.

Important Information Regarding the Forge

  1. Carbon Steel ONLY! No other material can be placed in the forge.
  2. NO galvanized, painted, or otherwise coated steel in the forge.
  3. Do NOT poke the sides or back of the forge with your piece. The back hole is slightly higher than the bottom firebrick - please gently place your piece in and then rest it down on the bottom of the forge.
  4. Make sure the fuel line is NEVER touching the side of the forge.
  5. If the torch is sputtering there is something wrong. Try to give it a little more air and more fuel. If that doesn't work, you might be low on fuel. If it continues sputtering turn it off and alert the Area Host.
  6. Always assume the forge, any nearby tools, and the surrounding area is hot.

Helpful Hints

  1. Directly under the torch is the hottest place in the forge - if you want something heated fast, place it there.
  2. Your steel will be as hot as it can be when it nearly matches the color of the forge around it.
  3. Try not to leave tools next to the forge when it is on - they will get very hot.
  4. Keep your tools cool by quenching often.
  5. Try to use the least amount of air mix you can while not choking the torch.
  6. If you have a question or something seems off - contact the area host or Adrianna.
