In part two of this series I forge the bolt on bracket for the post vise, including a stacked forge weld and some tips I've learned to set you up for success. I promise you'll never look at a bag of donuts the same ever again.

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.
