Iron Shell Forge @ForgeShell

Busy weekend cutting, welding and grinding. Main part of our sign cut out, castors welded on to the plasma cutter table and steel rack, old leaf springs purchased for future use and got a good start on my next two… instagram.com/p/CDcdSe_j5Aw/…

Delivered this matched pair to a good friend and fellow craftsman yesterday. Always extra special when someone who makes such exquisite pieces themselves desire your own work. . . . . . #blacksmith #bladesmith… instagram.com/p/CDWWyWADlw4/…

Stop! Soft-Faced Hammer Time! Made this guy with some free time in the shop today. Hope it's not overkill for leather work 😁 . . . . . #blacksmith #bladesmith #knifemaker #knife #knifelife #blade #custom… instagram.com/p/CDUHKK9jUnr/…

Just finished up some heavy duty power rack safety bars for teamrawpowerns because normal duty just wasn't cutting it 😂 rawpowerns . . . . . #madeincanada @ Raw Power Strength and Performance Center instagram.com/p/CDShbRbDme3/…

It's a plasma cutter table! Very excited to get this little guy hooked up and start cutting things out! . . . . . #blacksmith #bladesmith #knifemaker #knife #knifelife #blade #custom #customknife #knifefanatics… instagram.com/p/CC_1vWbj0lQ/…

Busy afternoon finish grinding, hand sanding and putting scales on these. O1 steel, G10 liners with Chatekok and bronze pins. Some more sanding to do on the handles, then on to the sheaths. . . . . . #blacksmith… instagram.com/p/CCzX5puj8_M/…

Fibreglass handle came out of this hammer, so I remade a new one out of maple from my wood pile, then charred it and treated it with bees wax. Also cut off the small cross peen that I never use and put another one… instagram.com/p/CCgXT88HOdb/…

Now that I've finally handed this to its new owner, I can share pics and the story behind it. This was by far the hardest piece I've ever made. Not because of the technical difficulty, but because of the emotion… instagram.com/p/B5rO5jKHjEO/…

Current WIP. Another gift for someone with a lot of meaning. Not too many more pics until after it's done and delivered, don't wanna ruin the surprise. . . . . . #blacksmith #bladesmith #knifemaker #knife #knifelife… instagram.com/p/B45TsZAHmgj/…

Gotta love when you finally clean up the shop and find two half finished leaf spring bowies haha! . . . . . #blacksmith #bladesmith #knifemaker #knife #knifelife #blade #custom #customknife #knifefanatics… instagram.com/p/B4252_Ijkgb/…

They're all starting to take shape. Loving how the grains in the wood are starting to pop out. I've done two in each: Padauk, Maple and Walnut and the two larger ones on the far end are Chatekok and Wenge.… instagram.com/p/BzYzlXGnG-R/…
