    Tom, Normally you don't HAVE to bring anything ... everything is here
    and  materials are included in the prices of the workshops. You can
    bring some  hand tools if you wish - but don't try to bring them in
    your carry on  luggage! You can also ship them ahead. Engraving
    workshops include tools that  you take home and the press workshop
    will include the dies you make to take  home. 

    The Western Silversmithing workshop is for constructing a buckle,
    buckle  set, & conchas. Layout, cutting, soldering, and finishing
    ready to  engrave. We work with copper, brass, and nickel - which is
    included in the  workshop. If you want to use silver/gold you must
    bring it or purchase it here.  We will use the hydraulic press to
    make some of the parts you will  use - and demo the making of the
    dies - but we do not actually make the  dies in this workshop. June
    20 - 24th. Cost is $750 including notes &  materials. 

    The Western Engraving is a basic hand engraving workshop taught this
    year  by Alex Sanchez, but in the Western style of engraving. We
    will engrave the  products made in the previous workshop, blanks
    that are available here, or  pieces that you have already made.  We
    do it two ways: with push  gravers or you can try every make and
    model of power assisted engraving tool.  June 27 - July 1st. Cost is
    $750 including notes and gravers. 

    The Benchtop press workshop is more general - includes the use of at
     least 3 different kinds of presses that will fit neatly on your
    benchtop.  (Screw, arbor, and hydraulic presses.) However, most of
    it (90%) is centered on  using the 20 ton hydraulic press and making
    simple dies for it. We will make  forming, cutting, and compound
    simple "pancake" dies. I hope to have  time to demonstrate a
    Kirksite forming die. We also make some bending  jigs (arbor press)
    for the loops on the backs of bridle conchas and belt  buckles. Aug.
    5 - 7th. Cost is $380 including notes & materials. 

    Email me off forum for directions, places to stay, and other
    details.
