There are various course priorities to choose from. All courses last 2-3 days and require an individual appointment.

Damascus steel forging course

• Together with the participant, a selection of the steels is made and the damask package is prepared
• This package is heated to welding heat in a coke fire and welded by hand, air or spring hammer
