Rec Connect - Blacksmithing Workshop

RSL Rec Connect – Meet, move and make for a more connected life!

RSL Rec Connect helps veterans and their families connect through a diverse calendar of recreational events. RSL Rec Connect events are held throughout the year in various locations across Queensland. Veterans and current serving Defence members, and their partners and children are welcome.    

Learn the basics of Blacksmithing in this highly rated workshop and create your own piece to take home.  

During this workshop, you will see demonstrations from blacksmiths Rob Scully and Wayne Schmidt in drawing, upsetting, squaring, rounding, riveting and barley twisting.  

This workshop requires no previous experience and is a great opportunity to learn something new with other like-minded people.
