The BIGGEST shears I've ever seen!

Check out the newest addition to my shop - antique sheet metal shears, the biggest I have ever seen! I'll demonstrate how they work.
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.

They are awesome shears, seeing them first hand for sure the largest I have ever seen and in great condition. They will work even better on the bench. Nice cutting Jayce.

[@FarmsteadForge]

Thanks Randy - ya they are in such good shape I almost hate to even use them, but they were made to be used so I'll just have to take good care of them.

[@hayward434]

Thanks for sharing, I have a 30" set but rarely use them.

[@FarmsteadForge]

Thanks for watching!

[@richardmckinney2646]

I have one probably a little smaller .Don't use often but when I do..... Way cool to hold history in my hands.✌

[@FarmsteadForge]

Yes they are a neat thing to have in the shop! How long are yours? Do they fit in your anvil? Thanks for your comment.

[@davidslater7187]

I haven't seen a shear that big wicked awesome. The set i have is much smaller and have a hole in my bench that allows the cutting to be done just off the bench. I do use them quite often old tools are the best.

[@FarmsteadForge]

I love old tools too, especially when you find something kind of unique like these guys! I need to figure out a better setup for using these. I think that's cool that you use yours often.

Very nice, remind me of a snapping turtle I once encountered ; snapping off every stick I offered it. Great addition, useful too!

[@FarmsteadForge]

Thanks! I remember catching snapping turtles when fishing with my Grandpa as a kid and I remember them doing a number on sticks. Thank you for bringing back a memory I haven't thought of in a long time.

[@ArmySoldier1972]

Very cool Now I must find some Army

[@FarmsteadForge]

Thanks! You might check Ebay, I've seen some there, but I haven't run across any quite this big.

[@danieltesar7771]

Wowza, never seen ones quite that large and never seen them in operation before. Those work a treat. I wonder about what vintage they are?

[@FarmsteadForge]

They are massive and they do cut nice and clean! I wondered that myself, I'd guess early 1900's but I really don't know. Thanks for stopping in this morning!

[@danieltesar7771]

I always look forward to your uploads, highlight of my morning before I head out on the day!

[@FarmsteadForge]

@@danieltesar7771 so what you're saying is you'd be upset if I stopped posting videos? In all seriousness though, thank you, that means a lot.

[@boblasley5640]

The jaws on those remind me of a T-Rex for some reason. 🤔 Definitely a more unusual tool to have in your collection Jayce.

[@FarmsteadForge]

Thanks Bob, yes we like the unusual around here!! My wife said the same thing about the jaws looking like a T-Rex.

[@madeinsweden7776]

Would be handy having one like that when cutting my nails.😊

[@FarmsteadForge]

Check Ebay - they show up there occasionally!

[@howardrichburg2398]

Funny how we men can watch someone with a new toy cut stuff up. Cool!

[@FarmsteadForge]

Yes! But I think being the one running the shears is even more satisfying, I think I could have done that all day 🙂 Thanks for watching!

[@SchysCraftCo.]

😊😮

[@FarmsteadForge]

Thanks for stopping by!

[@jesseswinney9643]

Dang, no I have to go measure mine. Lol.

[@FarmsteadForge]
