Have you ever watched someone making a sword in the movies and thought it looked too cool for school? If so, this class is for you! Join us Friday, October 3rd in Germantown, TN for a 6 hour class (9-3:00pm), where you'll start by learning about the beginning of metal work over 5,000 years ago and examine artifacts that trace the evolution of metallurgy across several cultures. Next, you'll choose a wooden sword from several historical Bronze Age patterns, and get your hands dirty making a careful sand cast of the wooden original. And then watch as we pour your mold with 1,400 degree molten aluminum! Afterwards, while you take a lunch break, several volunteers and I grind the swords smooth and prepare them for handles. When you come back, wrap the handle in leather before taking your sword home! $120 This class is an Austin original, usually sells out, and is not taught by anyone else, so grab a friend and strike while the iron is hot! Note: if this date does not work for your schedule, check for other dates at www.swordcastingguy.com/calendar
Location: This class takes place at an event space in Germantown, TN. The exact address and class details will be emailed to attendees at the time of purchase.
Want to see more? A while back I was featured in BESTAUSTIN,
It is a good summary of the class & shows some of my other maker projects. And I've been a frequent guest on hit youtube channel How To Make Everything, where I've helped channel host Andy recreate many Bronze Age artifacts, including casting a Spartan shortsword from melted pennies. The penny episode has had over 2.7M views and has really helped get the word out about my class--check it out!
My class has also been featured on many TikTok videos--here is one of my favorites.

Or see Sword Casting Guy’s FB page to see pictures and read raves from happy customers. The class grew out of a desire to make Ancient Civilizations class more hands on, and so is taught very interactively, with lots of archaeology, history, and physics connections being explored.
Sword casting ticket. One ticket per sword cast--helpers do not need their own ticket, unless they plan to cast their own sword.
