Purpose-Built Blacksmith Tools
A carefully forged tool shaped around the work you do most.
A More Personal Way to Equip Your Workshop
I make hand-forged hammers, tongs, fullers, and punches with the intended task at the centre of the design. The shape, weight, grip, and working face are considered together, creating a tool that feels balanced and purposeful rather than generic.
From a dependable everyday hammer to a specialised tool for a particular technique, I work through the practical details with you before forging begins. The finished piece carries the marks of its making while offering the strength and usability expected from a working blacksmith's tool.
Ideal For
Blacksmiths building a reliable tool set
Makers seeking a specialised hand tool
Workshops replacing worn or unsuitable tools
Collectors who value functional craftsmanship
How It Works
Discuss the task: We clarify the tool's purpose, dimensions, and working conditions.
Shape the design: I recommend suitable proportions, materials, and finish before forging.
Forge and refine: I make, finish, and prepare the tool for its intended use.
