It looks like one (1) gram of meat is back on the menu, boys!!! Here’s a fun little Uruk cleaver and shield, available as a pair on my website. They’re heavy and spiky and pretty grumblesome www.thepocketforge.com/shop/p/l7jq1...

Here’s some new stuff I’ve been working on recently! It’s not been a great start to the year but I’m just keeping my head down and cranking out my silly art like a good little gnome

@thepocketforge.bsky.social - Sleeble arrives just in time to be a reward for finishing a bit of DIY! I've put them on the shelf to become a bookworm.

I’m still alive! I’m trying to limit my social media use to 2hrs a day, but accidentally just applied that to instagram, and forgot about the other platforms I use. But here’s an update on what I made for those who are out of the loop: Boobs! Worms! Tiny Swords! That is all. www.thepocketforge.com

You wouldn't forge a worm.

Ever wondered how worms are made? It was me all along!

Spoiler, it worked! I haven’t smoked for many years, this tobacco is probably older than the pocket forge itself and was dry as an MF

Tiny pipe tomahawk! Who wants to guess if it’s functional or not?? P.s it’s also available on my webshop www.thepocketforge.com/shop/p/16-sc...

Hello! It’s been a minute since I posted here- I’ve just been busy making tiny swords and other miniature gubbins. Check out my website to see what else I’ve been up to! www.Thepocketforge.com

So apparently I need to submit to age verification just to view my messages on Bluesky now, bollocks to that! I’ll be back on instagram, if you’ve messaged me here and I haven’t replied, just hit me up there www.instagram.com/thepocketfor...

Good luck! They aren’t widely used in full sized bladesmithing because they are quite specific, and don’t distribute the heat like a propane forge but they can be a game changer for certain things, so I’d recommend trying first- Nigel at Fransham Forge will do a demonstration if you’re interested

The Pocket Forge @thepocketforge.bsky.social · 03/07/2025

That was where I got it! About 4 years ago, from Fransham Forge.

Here’s some ASMR content! These are some brass bucklers that can be worn as rings. It’s nice to be able to do a bit of cold work on the anvil, even the induction forge makes my workshop a little foisty in this weather!

Correct, the odd one out is Excalibur! From the 1981 film of the same name

The Pocket Forge @thepocketforge.bsky.social · 28/06/2025

Who can spot the odd one out? These are four pieces I finished this week, preparing for Fantasy Forest in a few weeks time! I’ll have a mixture of historical, pop culture, fantasy originals and wearable pieces, but dang another couple of weeks to prepare would be nice 😅

The Pocket Forge @thepocketforge.bsky.social · 18/06/2025

No, those are just holes, but it would be easy enough to inlay wire if needed!

Thank you! It’s been a while since I last tried a bardiche

I’m still alive!!! I kind of forgot to post for a few weeks because the world is terrifying and I’m quite busy. But here are some recent pieces I’ve been working on that are available on my website (www.thepocketforge.com) if you want to support me and own a lil stabby doodah! #swords #miniature

Busy 2 day market weekend! Always good when it’s in your hometown and you can leave your table set up for the next day. If anyone is in Norwich UK, we are back tomorrow, so pop by!!!

Works in progress! A few different types of dagger that I hope to finish today- everything made by hand and no two will be quite the same #handmade #metalwork #WipWednesday #miniature

It’s insane for my car insurance company to think I care enough about them to read their monthly newsletter. The audacity.

The Pocket Forge @thepocketforge.bsky.social · 14/05/2025

This is what nearly 3 solid months of work looks like! I worked on these over the last 5 months amongst other projects, but these were all for a specific event and it’s weird how so much time fits into one tiny box. Time to get ready for Friday! #Miniature #Artsmarket #Swords #MetalFeed

More tiny tiny gubbins! The kris was a fun little challenge. I started with an attempt to carve a Buddha, but it turned into a monkey, which I felt was more appropriate. Not long now til the show! (Tiny violin made by Sergio Macedo Netto) #miniature #miniaturist #artsanscrafts

Getting closer to completing this extra tiny collection. If anyone in London wants to encounter me or my tiny swords in real life, I’ll be at Kensington Dollshouse Festival on the 16th and 17th May! www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/kensington...

Ever wondered how a weaponised steel lute for a tiny battle bard is made? #Dnd #miniature #metalwork #metalfeed

Extra tiny zweifinger! I’m still getting to grips with 1/12 scale, but I’m pleased with how this one turned out without too much reduction in detail- here’s a 1/6 scale one I did a couple months ago for comparison!

The Pocket Forge @thepocketforge.bsky.social · 23/04/2025

Thank you! Thats freshly made today! I made two, one even smaller

The Pocket Forge @thepocketforge.bsky.social · 23/04/2025

Sorry, it’s been a MOMENT since I last posted here! Busy as always making lots of tiny things, trying to thrive as an art person in this silly little thing we’re still calling an economy! Here’s some highlights 1. Italian Billhook 2. A horseman’s axe 3. Assorted 1/12 scale swords 4. A hairpin sword

I kept seeing that nasty AI starter pack doll trend and it was great to see so many artists reject it by recreating it with actual hand drawn versions! I decided to make a physical one instead AI is a poisoned chalice. IP theft and environmental impact aside, it hurts art and you don’t need it!

The world is a scary place right now and I guess people are saving their money for iodine tablets and spiky shoulder armour! But we shall pull through 😅

The Pocket Forge @thepocketforge.bsky.social · 12/04/2025

Best of luck to you too! This is my 3rd year now, and I’ve realised that there is no pattern to predict and the turnout is almost always random! I hope you have all the success!!!

Thank you for sharing! An array of tiny armaments for all levels and classes

No worries mate! I’m sure I’ll be back. Take good care of yourself

Thank you! First market of the year, I meant to say. There’ll always be others!

The Pocket Forge @thepocketforge.bsky.social · 12/04/2025

First market done! It was a good event but we made a loss. It can happen, they are a gamble and sometimes you don’t sell enough to cover the costs of the table, fuel and parking costs, if the right customers don’t show. Long story short, there’s a 10% sale on my Etsy shop! 😅 thepocketforge.etsy.com

These are some medieval battle implements known as “bönks” or, as the French would say, “bonqués”! Steel, oak, leather and a pinch of copper #MetalFeed #Miniatures

Lovely, it’ll be cool to meet you in person if you can make it! Here are the details
