He is back at it! Forging, that is. Mr. W has a brand new shop, awaiting insulation (yay!). Till then, he is still forging Garden Trowels and other Good Things in his old Blacksmith Shop (my future She Shed, Potting Shed, etc.. yay for me too!).
Here is a little glimpse at what it takes to make a garden trowel from a railroad spike.
Only the best finished products are kept. That is a “scrapper” you see on the lower right.
finished trowel.. a keeper!
These are, without a doubt, the sturdiest trowels ever.. with a nice “feel” in the hand. Made to last a lifetime.. they make awesome and meaningful gifts for almost any occasion. Railroad Spike Trowels are always available in the Flat Creek Forge Etsy shop (with free shipping!).
