Create a knife from an upcycled railroad spike in a beginner-friendly blacksmithing class designed for ages 8 and up. Begin by gearing up with provided safety equipment, get familiar with essential tools such as hammers and tongs, and help light a propane forge. Spend focused time forging and shaping your blade, learn how steel changes through annealing and tempering using heat, sand, and oil, then refine the edge with a grinder and files if you want it sharpened. Finish by tempering and oil quenching to achieve blade hardness. Wear jeans, a comfortable cotton shirt, and leather boots or shoes. If leather footwear is not available, closed-toe shoes are fine and leather spats can be supplied to cover them. The class is planned for up to four hours, though the actual duration can vary by ability. All required PPE is included. Choose a railroad spike from the class collection or bring your own. Class size is limited to eight participants. Children under 12 must register with an adult. Veterans and first responders can request a discount code.

Wild Water Wednesdays features water play and muddy activities for children who love to get messy. Online booking is requested. Admission is $15 per child and $5 for siblings.
