The smallest of our current range "The Pioneer"

Hand forged from En9 medium carbon steel and fitted with a 16inch straight hickory handle these axes are supplied razor sharp and ready to work.

Designed to be easily carried in a rucksack or even on a belt the Pioneer is excellent for tasks like cutting branches, dressing game, splitting sticks and even crafting.

This is also the style of axe we teach on our extremely popular axe making days

Here is the brand new grinding station (almost finished)

A few minor details still to be completed but I'm looking forward to putting these machines to work and training up some of my students to use them

10ft single panel gate finally finished and installed

This gate was for a long standing client - and this gate project has been in the works for a long time but once the new pillars with steel reinforcing were in I finally got the go ahead.

It is the largest single panel gate I have made to date - I usually do driveway gates as a pair but this location meant a single gate was the only option.

All the components were hand forged in house here at Middle Row Forge and the gate was constructed using mortis and tenon joints, rivets and bolts.
The scroll work was all firewelded together and shaped using hammers and scrolling irons
The client wanted something straightforward but with flourishes of detail to make it special - in this I believe it is a success and both myself and the client are very happy with the results

A big thankyou goes out to Steve Jopling for his assistance when forging the long horizontal bars and also for assisting with the riveting together of the main frame of the gate.
A big thankyou also goes out to my brother Jamie for helping to transport and hang the gate in its final home.

Overall a very satisfying and successful project 💪🔥👍

Proud to present the new Middle Row Forge built belt grinder.

This is the mk1 prototype and will be staying here at the forge with me.

This particular machine has a 3hp 3 phase motor with vfd control.

Can accept various attachments - and currently can switch between a big wheel and a flat platen for flexibility.

The machine itself is rock solid and I consider it a very successful project

I've still got two more to build - one for a friend and another for the workshop.

If you are interested in acquiring one then please don't hesitate to get in touch as if enough interest is shown I would be happy to make up some more as self build kits.
