Tooling for Makers
We specialize in making the basic tooling you need to get working. These are the tools you will actually use, rather than the bizarre relics that other metalworkers have already passed over at the flea markets. These are the same as we use in our shop and classes. Get the working tools you need quickly and focus your time in the shop on finishing your unique creations.
Anvil tools
The square hardy hole is the standard mount for many shapes of tooling. Every anvil manufacturer made a different size, so fitted tooling is hard to find. We stock a wide range of sizes to fit your anvil. These are for cutting, bending, and forming.
Twisting and bending
Give your metalwork a twist. Each different cross section can get a wide variety of looks. These twisting tools give you even torque for straight twists. Our bending tools give you control for repeated parts and accurate shapes
Punching and drifting
Hot punching is a fast way for you to make holes without highly machined and aligned tooling. Drifting allows you to open up those holes to a final size and shape with the characteristic swell.
