I have made a few dogs in the blacksmith shop at Hancock Shaker Village. I also make drift pins, ring dogs, and froes. Although I haven't made a froe yet that I really like. Hewing dogs are fairly easy to make, froes are a pain in the butt. Next year I am going to try making some scoring axes and broad axes. I like making the blacksmithing tools to make the timber framing tools to make the timber frame.
