Old-World Utility for the Modern Workbench Clamps have their place, but nothing matches the efficiency and elegance of a hand-forged holdfast. Crafted by our blacksmith in Tennessee, these aren’t just tools—they are an investment in your craft.

Starting with 3/4″ round stock, each piece is meticulously forged down to 11/16″. This slight taper, combined with the natural, rough-hewn texture of forged iron, allows the shaft to bite into standard 3/4″ bench holes with superior grip. The result? A rock-solid hold that sets with a single mallet tap and releases just as easily. No marks, no complex tightening, just pure, functional iron.
