#handmade tools

Making tools is an important skill. With a lot of crafts, the tools you'll need to do exactly what you want arent always available in stores. I want to improve my tooling so I made a new tool to let me add some extra texture to my work.

So, a buddy of mine hand makes copper, bronze, and steel weapons.

I have just order my first Red Pig Tool:  a lovely 4 tined broadfork.  I'll post a photo when I get it.  I've been drooling over these tools for months and now, after someone borrowed my own broadfork and didn't return it, I am in need before my beds get planted too compacted.  So, as they say, the broadfork is in the mail.  Yippeeeee.
