About
Hobbs Forgeworks is a small garage blacksmith shop in Alaska, focused on practical tools, knives, and functional builds.
This site (and the YouTube channel) documents the process — the work, the mistakes, and the improvements — without the noise.
No gimmicks. No theatrics. Just fire, steel, and tools built to be used.
What I Make
Punches, chisels, drifts, hardy tools, and other essentials for the working blacksmith.
Camp knives, kitchen knives, and experimental blade work.
Custom workflow improvements and shop equipment upgrades.
Small-scale craft work combining metal and wood.
