Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
Will Dobkins' business, Homestead Iron in Squires, Missouri (in the Ozark Mountains). He and his wife started by repurposing old garden tools with new handles. Realizing that these old tools were much better than the tools available today, he decided to make his own tools. Will shows us each tool describing the design, use, and advantages.
Tools he currently forges include:
Single Tine Cultivator
Two Tine Cultivator
Crows Foot Cultivator (5 tines)
Hand Rake (5 tines)
Weeders
Tap Root Weeder
Dandelion Weeder
Weeding Fork (2 tine)
Scuffle Weeder for surface weeds (diamond shaped blade)
Cape Cod Weeder (for detailed weeding) - both right and left hand
versions
Dutch Weeder or Draw Hoe (triangle shaped fine blade)
Classic Handle Hoe - heavier for chopping type weeding
V-Hoe or Warren Hoe for making furrows and planting
starts
Trowels
Large, small and sharp toothed (narrow, finger sized trowel)
Transplant (potting) Trowel with a reversed angle.
Will and his wife talk about running the business from crafting the tools to taking orders, packaging and mailing as a successful family business.
Part 2 - Will demonstrates forging the garden tool as well as describing various metals he uses.

So nice to have the explanation of each tool and real life advice on how they're used.
Beautiful hand made tools,I hate cheap ass tools made in China or elsewhere,but getting progressively hard to find.The best made,made in America by craftsman like you.
This family is amazing,honest and kind. The tools are great, Want more!!!!!!
My absolute favorite tools!!
I just received my large trowel and push/pull weeder today and its everything as advertised. Great construction and solid quality! I will certainly be ordering more tools. Don't buy the big box store cheap Chinese crap, mine broke off at the stem. You get what you pay for! Thanks

Very useful tools for both garden as well as Agriculture. Very nice collection India
Great tools, and non existent now, except from guys like you!
This does look thrilling. I usually buy Japanese tools and some English pieces. Perhaps I will try a few more items made in the states.
1:38 this is the first time I have seen someone use a fuller as a hammer, it seems to work especially with that swage block.

I've purchased great tools made in foreign countries. Most know exactly which country he's talking about. I stopped buying "made in China" tools...cheap tools that break easy.
Wish the customer service was better! I won't be a repeat customer!! Bad communication!
