If you had told me a few years ago that blacksmithing would lead to installing a standing seam roof, running compressed air lines, or moving massive stones for a patio, I probably would’ve laughed… then asked how heavy the stones were. But here we are: deep into the homestretch of our workshop construction and adding a whole new set of “blacksmith-adjacent” skills to the list.

These garden tools have been four years in the making! After years of designing, testing, refining (and repeating that process many times), we’re thrilled to finally release them into the world and into your gardens. We wanted to share the story behind them, because like all good things that come from the forge, these tools have roots in collaboration, creativity, and community.

2024 was another year of controlled chaos here at the forge. A small team of us made and shipped thousands of pieces to folks all over North America and even some folks overseas. We wanted to share some of the highs from the year as well as what's in store for 2025. 

We've been working on these sets for several years and couldn't be prouder of the final product. In honor of us bringing these into the world, we wanted to share a little more about the process of bringing these tools to life.
