Hot & Cold Metal Forming is the fifth part of a modular course focusing on developing practical skills. These skills are required by teachers and technicians for the successful delivery of metalworking craft activities and aspects of the SQA practical metalworking course.
This two day course will involve learning how to safely set up equipment used in forging processes. It will also develop knowledge of various cold metal forming techniques, Personal Protective Equipment requirements and specific educational Health & Safety regulations.
This course is ideal for teachers and technicians with no prior experience of forge work or cold metal forming techniques.
Participants will spend 2 full days in our workshop using the forge, associated equipment and the “Metalcraft” range of tooling. Many Forging techniques will be covered and each delegate will produce at least two projects and several practice pieces.
