How YOU can forge the tools to make the tools: A story of how the blacksmith catalysed civilisation.

The Evolution of Tool Making!
How YOU can forge the tools to make the tools!
On my flagship online course, I will teach you how to make the tools that truly helped mould and apply human creativity to the great heights we see today. The simple fact that I can communicate with you here is because a blacksmith somewhere, sometime, used a hammer to make the tools, to make a hammer that set the rivets on the first steam engine, igniting the industrial revolution.
“By Hammer and Hand, all Crafts do Stand”
I hugely understand the struggles of trying to immerse oneself in the craft of blacksmithing. That is why I have decided to compile this information into an online course. You will learn, with a hand hammer, hot cut and striker how to forge all the tools to forge your own hammer! It’s going to set off an avalanche of inspiration in your mind, followed by an avalanche of power in your hammer.
Learn how to make all of the following tools, ing with only a hammer, a hot cut and a sledge:
Hammer Tongs
V – Tipped Slot Punch
