Spur WorkShop Deposit
Total amount for workshop is $1260.00
Hello my spur making friends. The object of this class is to learn how to bake the cake. We will focus on the metal work alone so no ornamentation will be addressed. I guide you in what you create as well to ensure we are able to complete the project. I provide a series of spur designs to choose from for your project. If you don’t find one you like you can send me ideas. My only thought is for us to not get into something over our head that either skillset or time will prevent us from finishing. We can certainly discuss any ideas you might have and I can usually get something drawn up if you have specifics you want to make.
If you are a raw beginner or an accomplished maker I start everyone at the same spot, the beginning. I teach you how I make a pair of spurs and then you can take what you like and adapt it to you and your shop. All levels are welcome.
I will perform any task that you are uncomfortable with like the welding. I of course welcome anyone to try their hand and certainly give instruction to those observing.
Class begins at 8 am and is over at 5 pm. Lunch is provided each day.
As far as a list of tools and items to bring:
- safety goggles and dust mask (respirator)
- eye magnification if you are in need
- digital camera (phone of course) if you want to take pics of jigs and other interests you may have
- note pad
- welding helmet if you have a favorite
- Don’t worry if you don’t have some of these. I have everything you will need.
You can bring anything you might want or use on a regular bases in your shop that I have forgotten here. I will provide everything else you need to create a pair of spurs.
