Published: 11 years ago
This week was a REALLY fun one! Erik and I got to fly to Wisconsin and spend the week at Tormach's facility to teach a class on CNC knifemaking.

We had 5 people attend the class which turned out to be the perfect size, not too big, not too small. The goal of the class was to get the students comfortable using the Tormach CNC machinery to make a fixed blade knife called The Tor. Each day we worked on several different projects and taught a wide array of machining skills, starting with fixturing tips and tricks, flycutting steel, milling, pocketing, chamfering, heat treating, quenching, tempering, hard milling, sharpening, 3D milling G10 handles, and much much more.
The class was a resounding success! Erik and I had a blast, the students loved every minute, and Tormach was extremely pleased as well. We are planning on holding similar classes in the spring/summer of 2013, contact me or Tormach directly for more info.
