INSTRUCTOR TRAINING DAY: 
We will be doing a deep dive into heat treatment and show instructors a great way to demonstrate how to control grain growth in your tools. Everyone will have a chance to replicate the demonstration.

As always, this is a way for the CBA to give back to our dedicated instructors by providing a day of fun, forging, and learning from each other.

CBA loves our Instructors. See you there!
