# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Axe Forging with Aimie Botelho
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 24 Jul, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Mon, 27 Jul, 2026 at 02:00 pm (-06:00)
- **Event Description**: During this 3-day course you will forge your own small axe that is perfect for competitive throwing, and compact enough for bushcraft survival skills and camping (1-2 lb). All tooling and techniques covered are based on a course taught in Sweden.


The axes will be “punch eye” forged out of one solid piece of steel, with a European oval eye, and a special straight handle for throwing. No forging will be skipped – you will learn every step of the process, including sledgehammer striking techniques, basic metallurgy, axe sharpening, and hafting (adding the wooden handle). You will often hammer in teams with your classmates, but will leave with your own custom axe. 


Note: Previous forging experience is an asset, but not required. This course involves the use of hot forges and metal. You must be prepared to work in groups, and with a high level of concentration and physical exertion. 18+ or accompanied by a guardian. Please reach out with any questions.
