The Differant Ways to make tools.

When we say "Tool Making," we think about the way that we would make a tool. For example, a hammer or a screw driver; these are not the type of tools that we are talking about. We are wanting to get back to the lost art of tool making.

As a blacksmith, most of the tools that they make are from iron or a type of metal, which is heated and then hit with a heavy mallet numerous times until it is at the desired shape for the tool that they are making. There are axes and hammer heads. There is also Bladesmithing, which is the art of making knives and blades for bows or anything with a point, even a sword. Metalsmithing is the art of making tomahawks and tools that were used by the Native Americans. Many of the ways that tools are made all started with two hands, which has progressed into a machine making them. There are even ways to make tools out of wood, and once you incorporate wood and metal you have endless possibilities.

The age of tool making by hand has long passed, it has been turned over to machines making our tools that we use everyday. However, in our face paced society, this method of tool making is appropriate, as the old way of hand crafting tools would inhibit the progress made. The ways that we did things has changed with the ever so fast paced lives that we each live.
