Master arrow smithing in our traditional coal forge! Once this was one of the most important trades supplying armour piecing heads to England’s army and razer sharp broad heads to the King’s game keepers! Now it is officially on the red list of endangered craft and we are one of the few in the country practicing and more importantly teaching this intricate skill!
Join us for half a day in the forge getting to grips with the basics as you put hammer against hot metal. Learn to make sockets full sized to military spec or smaller for every day shooting. This is a shorter version of our full day focussing on “Type 9” bodkins and perfect for those who want a quick introduction to practice in their own time. By the end of the session you will take home everything that you have made and have a good insight into this very specialist skill.
