The Pilgrim Soul Forge

The Pilgrim Soul Forge offers seminars for gardeners and cooks: 

"TOOL TIPS WITH A BLACKSMITH":  this seminar is designd to introduce gardeners and urban farmers to the techniques of selecting, using and maintaining common agricultural hand tools.  Emphasis will be placed on cleaning and sharpening tools and extening their useful life.  This seminar can be provided in either one or two-hour versions

 "GET 'EM SHARP":  This seminar introduces the students to the theory and practice of hand-sharpening knives using traditional oil stones.  Emphasis is placed on having students recognize a sharp edge, the techniques for creating it and sharpening  their own knives DURING the seminar.  

With more and more people insisting on self-sufficiecy, urban agriculture and horticulture are becoming more popular.  Additionally, people are showing a renewed interest in where their food comes from AND in growing and raising their own.

Its time to reintroduce the tool skills that were once common in every household.

Why be dependent on others when the skills of sharpening and tool care are so easy to learn.

Let the Pilgrim Soul Forge be your  guide to the skills your Grandparents used every day....Contact the Pilgrim Soul Forge for details.
