5 out of 5 starsHave not used extensively but number of times I did use work piece was held very securely to bench. Fit, finish and workmanship seem to be very professional. Would recommend to fellow woodworkers.

5 out of 5 starsI’ve acquired 6 of these holdfasts now. Each is unique and has insane holding power. I highly recommend these holdfasts to anyone looking for versatility in the shop.

We are a small family run blacksmith shop in Beulah, Colorado
When I started blacksmithing in 1987 it was with the idea of making my own traditional woodworking tools. Since then I have found that most of my work has been for the mountain man rendezvous crowd. My true love in the shop is still the creation of unique, high quality one of a kind tools and custom hardware items.
Besides blacksmithing my wife, Janet and I are involved in a long term log home building project. The new shop will be just a short walk from the house. This is all in addition to my full time job as a firefighter for the city of Aurora, Colorado.
