Title: Show me your at-home knife shop...
Post by: crowbarforge on May 10, 2018, 11:21:02 AM

I am moving (for the last time) and will have limited space for some blacksmith and bladesmithing. Finally. I will have a shop built just a couple mikes away on family land in the next two years. Show me pics of your at-home or small space shops for some ideas.

This is my Boston shop when I first started some 12+ years ago.  It's a 1/4 of a two car garage.  My anvil and forged were moved out side when I forged.  My Boston shop is still a 1/4 of my garage.  My Aiken, SC shop is much nicer and bigger.  As it gets bigger, I seem to just fill it up.  That 1/4 of my garage is very user friendly for the small space...tippit

Thanks Tippit. If I can turn out knives half as good as you in the small space, I will be happy.
