SUMMARY:Introduction to Chip Carving
DESCRIPTION:This course will introduce students to the traditional craft of chip carving – a type of woodcarving in which a small knife is used to incise decorative floral and geometric designs into basswood or butternut.  The design is created by the removal of small pieces (chips) of the wood. Chip carving is an ancient\, traditional craft. Chip carved plates\, jewelry and keepsake boxes\, trays\, breadboards\, furniture and other items can make wonderful gifts and also decorate the home with traditional motifs. Some previous carving experience is helpful\, but not necessary. Students will learn to carve a variety of practice designs already drawn on a board and may complete a round ornament as well.

SUMMARY:National Curriculum Level 1
DESCRIPTION:The National Curriculum offers a step-by-step progression through three levels of fundamental blacksmithing skills. Certification signifies that a smith has demonstrated mastery of a specific set of skills\, increasing in complexity with each level: Level I (beginner)\, Level II (intermediate)\, Level III (advanced). Level I is the first level of the curriculum and is designed as a guide through beginning blacksmithing techniques. Starting with safety\, Level I then moves into core skills and techniques\, including tapering\, bending\, forging and heat-treating hand tools\, punching and drifting\, basic blacksmithing math\, forging to dimension\, forge-welding\, and creating tenons. It culminates in a final project\, the Gate Latch\, designed to test the student on these skills. Upon completion of Level I\, students will have confidence in the most essential blacksmithing skills and be able to forge a wide variety of projects. The program is designed to provide a solid foundation within the craft. To earn certification\, the student needs to successfully complete the projects and techniques as outlined in the checklist in the Level I Student Packet. This is found on the website abana.org The checklist allows students and instructors to keep track of progress. ABANA will accept the recommendation from an Affiliate?s Education Program Chair or the judgment of a Certified Level I Instructor that qualifies a student as having passed Level I.

Certification signifies that a smith has demonstrated mastery of a specific set of skills\, increasing in complexity with each level: Level I (beginner)\, Level II (intermediate)\, Level III (advanced). Level I is the first level of the curriculum and is designed as a guide through beginning blacksmithing techniques. Starting with safety\, Level I then moves into core skills and techniques\, including tapering\, bending\, forging and heat-treating hand tools\, punching and drifting\, basic blacksmithing math\, forging to dimension\, forge-welding\, and creating tenons. It culminates in a final project\, the Gate Latch\, designed to test the student on these skills. Upon completion of Level I\, students will have confidence in the most essential blacksmithing skills and be able to forge a wide variety of projects. The program is designed to provide a solid foundation within the craft. To earn certification\, the student needs to successfully complete the projects and techniques as outlined in the checklist in the Level I Student Packet. This is found on the website abana.org The checklist allows students and instructors to keep track of progress. ABANA will accept the recommendation from an Affiliate?s Education Program Chair or the judgment of a Certified Level I Instructor that qualifies a student as having passed Level I.

SUMMARY:Build a Rustic Birdhouse
DESCRIPTION:Anyone can learn to make a rustic birdhouse in just a few hours. A birdhouse is a simple structure with seven basic parts: two sides\, a front and back\, a bottom\, and two pieces for the top. Power tools are not necessary to cut the wood; it can be done with a handsaw. Using rough-cut lumber\, you will construct a rustic birdhouse that can be functional and/or decorative. Choose from several birdhouse designs. There will be a short discussion about nesting birds\, feeding birds and suitable houses for area birds. Participants are encouraged to bring objects (such as old drawer pulls\, doorknobs\, hardware\, etc.) from home. Adults and teens welcome; children ages 10-14 must be accompanied by an adult.
