Forged tools

Hand- or machine-forged tools, made just for you, from Australian steel, in Australia.

Generally-speaking Wilkur Forge prefers to encourage you to participate in our range of courses so you can learn to make your own tools.

However, Wilkur Forge can make tools for users such as:

actors - stage and movie props

bakers,

cordwainers,

gunstock makers,

farmers - animal brands in a custom design, for example,

forging businesses  - tongs, hammers, hand-held tools, power hammer tooling,

founders,

furnace work,

glass artists,

laboratories,

left-handers,

period re-creators,

potters,

restorers - cars, bikes, trains, steam,

sculptors and carvers,

stonemasons,

vets,

welders and fabricators,

and woodworkers,

Hobby, trade or professional tools not up to scratch? No one else making what you want in Australia so you have to order from overseas? Can't find left-handed tools?

Wilkur Forge can make those items right here in Australia. What you want, made from high-quality materials, with first-class attention to details and workmanship, produced locally. Wilkur Forge does bespoke, not runs of hundreds of thousands to the lowest price.

Aside from working in steel a lot of the time, Wilkur Forge also works in iron, non-ferrous metals, timber, plastics, leather and a range of other materials. Where necessary, Wilkur Forge liaises with other makers who subscribe to the same ideals of handmade, old-world quality, which opens a range of possibilities when it comes to what you are after.

Have you been looking for a specific tool or item for your workshop without success? If Wilkur Forge - or its interesting and eclectic array of contacts and acquaintances - don't have the item you want it can probably be made it for you. 

All you need to do is

When not busy running courses Wilkur Forge undertakes private commissions of a "making" nature.

Wilkur Forge will consider almost anything for a commission, so if your imagination exceeds what other makers offer, please ask Wilkur Forge to see what can be done. The more interesting the project, the better...

Wilkur Forge can produce items ranging from custom-made napkin holders and corkscrews, stamped with your restaurant's logo, to sculptural objects weighing many tonnes and of a large scale. Wilkur Forge is willing to consider one-offs and small runs.

NOTE - Wilkur Forge does NOT currently undertake architectural works, such as fences, handrails, balustrades or structural fabrication, nor the shoeing of horses (the question has been asked a couple of times). Wilkur Forge can though, refer you to others who are skilled and competent practitioners and specialise in these things.
