There is something for everyone from beginner to highly advanced gatesmiths. To be included are methods for tool making, forge building and design, and machine and tool repairs and selection. Updates are made as time permits and materials are gathered. This is a work in progress. Many pages are updated several times a month, often with both photos and information.
Some updates are small and some large.
Check back often to see updates. Links are posted below, for newly added pages and those pages that get the largest updates. Future additions being assembled right now include a page on forging blacksmith's tongs beginning with light weights tongs and then later adding heavier varieties. A page on the camelback drill, another on sharpening drill bits by hand, and a little more on armour. A lot of material to be added soon.
