Shawn forged me a custom 2.5 lb rounding hammer 2 years ago. I am still in love with this hammer! I cannot believe how well this hammer has held up as I have learned this craft. I cannot say enough good things about Shawn or his work. Highly recommended! I will be a repeat buyer. Got my eye on the new swage blocks he has in stock...

I have bought my forge, tools, and consumables from Front Step Forge. I have taken a few courses from Shawn (through NAIT) and he is an exceptional instructor. Our home contains a number of amazing pieces of Art from Shawn, including a staircase railing that is always the focus of attention with visitors. I have seen the range of what Shawn can do, and he is an incredibly talented blacksmith and artist.

Thanks for the quick turn around on the the order. I am thrilled with the 1/4 bolt tongs. That will make my forging of steak turners and small stock work so much easier. They're the great quality and function that I expected coming from your shop. I am hoping though the next set I require will be of my own making. I am getting there one hammer stroke at a time. The more time I spend at the anvil

I deal with Shawn solely for my smithing needs. He’s incredibly talented, precise and punctual. Not to mention, very easy to deal with! That’s a rarity these days. I’d recommend front step forge to anyone, blacksmith or not to check his stuff out!

I’ve been blacksmithing for 6 years and have purchased a few things over the years from Front Step Forge. Most recently I purchased a 2lb dogs head hammer, 3 lb hammer blank with a drift and a set of heritage grade bladesmith tongs. All of the products Ive received have been exceptional quality and I am happy knowing they were forged in Canada.In order to make tools of this quality one must be very well practiced and experienced, I am extremely happy with my purchases.

I received a FSF rounding hammer this past xmas. So have only been using it for a month now. I’m also a newb blacksmithing hobbyist (I’m a full-time HVAC Journeyman in my other life). I have to say that this 2.75lb rounding hammer is fantastic for moving metal and finish work. While I’m mostly making wall hooks, 'S' hooks, bottle openers and other beginner projects, this hammer came perfectly balanced with a handle that feels great in my hand. I modify all my wooden handles with a groove 2 from the end to aid grip placement

Shawn is a great instructor of courses and an overall great businessman too. I am incredibly proud of anything I have made under his teaching and also of the many things I have purchased (forge, tongs, swages, mandrels, hammers). I look forward to passing along all of these items to my children in like new condition not due to lack of use but instead due to their incredibly high quality. You will not find better blacksmithing.
