Workshop Process Series
See a project develop through the real stages of workshop practice.
A More Personal Way to Follow The Craft
Each video focuses on a specific forging or toolmaking project, showing the work from preparation through to the next meaningful stage. I explain what I am doing, why a particular approach matters, and how the material responds along the way. The result is a clear, grounded view of the process rather than a rushed final reveal.
The series also captures the details that are easy to miss, including tool choices, heat control, shaping, fitting, and finishing decisions. Whether you are interested in traditional forging, practical toolmaking, or the atmosphere of a working workshop, each update offers a closer look at how the project is made.

About
I am Ilan Shenfield, a blacksmith creating hand forged tools and practical pieces through heat, hammer, and careful attention to detail. My work includes hammers, tongs, fullers, punches, hot cuts, and other tools shaped for makers, farriers, and anyone who values honest craftsmanship. I share the process openly, including the experiments and adjustments behind each piece, so every creation reflects both function and the journey of forging.
