Hi, I'm Jayce, the blacksmith behind Farmstead Forge. I am a farrier by trade; I learned the basics of blacksmithing at shoeing school and the rest I learned on my own. I'm excited to expand my knowledge and continue learning while also sharing my passion with others.
Join me in the shop on my Montana farmstead where I enjoy building tools and other fun projects that we can use around the place.

I'm a very strong person, I have swung a sledge like that many times, but the ease and accuracy he is doing it, makes me feel like I should never pick up a sledge again lol pretty impressive dude 👍👍

Thank you - although roughing out one, maybe two sets of tongs with the sledge is about all I've got in me for a day 🙂
Like the power hammer, nice and fast . Also your punch design is nice

The longer jaws and the slightly off front tooth. I think that is a good idea just incase the front teeth failed for some reason you could always repair it and get back to work.

Great Work and thanks for the tip, i had a lot of that sucker rod i always wondered what kind of steel it was.
