Forging a Latch for the Grub Box on the Sheep Wagon

#blacksmithing #toolmaker #sheep
Progress on the sheep wagon continues! I rebuilt the grub box (supply box) and so today I'm taking you along while I forge a simple latch for it out of a rasp, a piece of angle iron, a rivet and chunk of flat iron. My kids help out in the shop and at the end I give an update on the rest of the project and also give you a quick peek at our newborn lambs.

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.
