Hi, I'm Jayce, the blacksmith behind Farmstead Forge. I am a farrier by trade; I learned the basics of blacksmithing at shoeing school and the rest I learned on my own. I'm excited to expand my knowledge and continue learning while also sharing my passion with others.
Join me in the shop on my Montana farmstead where I enjoy building tools and other fun projects that we can use around the place.

Good information! Learned of your channel this morning from Glen at GS Tongs, and am now a subscriber. Thanks!
Awesome, thanks for subscribing! I appreciate the shoutout from Glen this morning!
Great work as always 👏👏
Thanks! Thanks for stopping by 🙂
Thank you Jayce for sharing the simple tooling and techniques. Nice job. First comment , up early to do a concrete pour.
Thanks for watching Randy, I hope the concrete pour went smoothly!
Did you get the pic I sent on IG.@@FarmsteadForge
Thanks for the technique. I'm still a beginner with very few tools so this helps me greatly
That's awesome, that is always the goal with my videos - to help at least one person. Thanks for watching!
Jayce awesome job. Thanks so much. This is very helpful and definitely useful information. Can't wait to see more updates an projects and many more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge On. Fab On. Weld On. Keep forge lit. Keep making. God bless.
Thank you, thanks for stopping by!
Great demo on using what you have and not spending time wishing for more stuff. I think back to what the original smiths had to start with and amazes me of how we complain when we don't have the latest greatest "New" tools out when we should be concentrating on the basics like this. Thanx Jayce!!
You are right Chuck - it is amazing what we can come up with when we think outside the box out of necessity. Anytime I don't have a tool I always ask myself "How can I do it without that?" and I usually come up with a solution. However I am tool guy - I do like my tools! 😉
Nice!
Thanks!
Very nice as always, thanks for a great video
I'm glad you enjoyed it, we should together soon!
could you show us how to forge a pipe hawk out of a billet? or Round bar or square bar? Or railroad spike? THanks!
I'll keep it in mind, thanks for the suggestion!
For crying out loud, use the guard on the angle grinder, is the slight ease of use worth being out of work for months because you have to have tendon surgery? Or you lose an eye? I really do not understand the levels of risk people accept when not using the guard.
Very good point. I grew up in a fab shop with several grinders, all without the guards and we never had a single accident - however I am aware of the risks. Thank you.
Yep this can not be stressed enough, especially with cutoff wheels. One friend almost lost his Thumb and another an eye.
@@RRINTHESHOP Thanks Randy - I will try to be better about putting my guards on.
Another good video Jayce! I noticed your "light cross peen" appears to have formerly been a ball peen. If this is so, did you grind it into a cross peen or forge it into a cross peen? Curious minds want to know! 🤔
Well I forged it of course silly goose! Thanks for stopping by Bob 🙂
Bob - I also upset the face of that hammer to make it shorter and fatter to balance it better.
Ah ok. One more silly 🪿 question. After forging, did you harden the peen or hammer face any or just leave them soft?
If I remember right, with that one I just let it air cool and then tested it. It's a little soft but it tested ok so I just left it alone... better to have it a little soft vs shatter. The old hammers are pretty safe to play with, but the new stuff is pretty unpredictable and dangerous.
