Belt Buckle : Tool for Innovation and It Holds Up Your Pants!

Belt Buckle : Tool for Innovation and It Holds Up Your Pants!

Tool making is an integral part of blacksmithing. There are so many tools to make in the blacksmith shop: tongs, hammers, punches, chisels, drifts, hardy tools, jigs, fullers, swages, etc. On the farm, there are rakes, pitchforks, shovels, scythes and sickles. In the kitchen, there are knives, spoons, bottle openers and on and on. There is an endless fleet of steel tools to be forged!

When I began working with metal, I didn’t think I’d be making belt buckles. But isn’t a belt buckle just another tool?
