I’ve seen other people ‘carving’ metal using punches and chisels, but I’ve never done it myself to this extent. This is the essence of what Wood-Forged-Craftworks is all about. I wanted something, but rather than spend money on a commercially made version, I just took a shot at making it myself. Is it perfect, no. But it didn’t need to be. It does what it says on the tin, and if I ever want a better one, I’ll make a better one.

Almost every day that I am out in the workshop, I have two regular visitors. The most frequent visitor is my German Shepherd, who loves to come check on what I’m doing. The second is my 7 year old daughter, who shows up with her pink work apron on and all the creativity I remember myself having as a child.
