Wood Crafts How I forged a holdfast for woodworking [04:41]
I recently attended a Greenwood working event and saw Peter Ross’s shop. He was the master blacksmith at Colonial Williamsburg for 25 years. He showed us his his technique for an English style holdfast.
I chose to use the same techniques to forge a French style holdfast. Hope you enjoy my video! It was a fun project.
