Tooling

The right tool doesn’t just help — it makes the work possible.
Punches, drifts, and stamps aren’t just accessories — they’re extensions of the smith’s intent. When you're shaping holes, setting shoulders, or marking a maker’s stamp, you need steel that’s been purpose-built for the job. Some of these tools are bought. Many are made. All are trusted. You learn quickly which tools you can rely on, and which ones need refining — or replacing. The good ones earn their place in the rack, blackened and worn from years of service, still ready to do exactly what they were built for.
