Visited to buy blacksmithing hammers and tongs for my son-in-law (a hobbyist blacksmith). The…read moreyoung man who helped me was very knowledgeable about their stock and helped me choose the best equipment--my son-in-law is very happy with the quality of the hammers. Will definitely be purchasing future supplies from Amsterdam Farrier Supply.

We visited this shop last week on our trip out of Lancaster. It was on our way home and I wanted…read moreto look for blacksmithing tools mainly tongs. I found two pairs of tongs for $50 each. They were cheaper here than on amazon and a good quality NC Tool Co. This place is located in deep farmland of Amish country. I didn't even see a road sign for it. We found plenty of parking. And by plenty I mean 10 spaces. This isn't a busy spot. You'll spend maybe 15-20 mins looking around. If you're into or getting into blacksmith work this has all the items you need. But keep in mind it's all new with prices higher than what you could get if you look for used anvils and cheaper hammers. These anvils are for farrier work and I believe can be used for heavy blacksmith work as well. You'll be paying $5+ a pound for an anvil. They had about 20 different ones at different sizes. Even stands for them too. They had hammers for all sizes and prices too. The high end ones got for $60-100 a hammer and the cheaper ones are $15-25. So if you got the money you could get a basic set up for blacksmithing. They do take credit cards if you were wondering. This is a great shop. Well worth a trip to get a tool you need. Not a place to visit if you don't plan on buying something cause there isn't any shops near it. Nice people to do business with as well.

This time the loading dock insisted that the ten we picked up were the ten we purchased. We feel like we have no recourse. Unless you can tag what you buy, there is no way to assure that you get what you pay for. We are very disappointed!!! Jeff 443-831-1420

If you deal with Equine Driven Carriage, then you will want to check out this home business on a…read morequiet side road in an Amish area. It is a nice drive. You pull up to a farm, drive toward the house and behind and to the side is the shop where the owners are available if the OPEN sign is out. Parking is in the gravel in front of the shop or across behind the barn. First, Equine sports tend to be either toward the "practical" people who have less money and do what they can OR "elite" types who have a lot of money to spend and project a need for the best. Again, it is kind of a 'leans' this way or 'leans' the other way. This shop is more for those who have "practical" needs. They have a shop full of leather, harness, tack and equipment to make or repair many items. If you need just a small item then you can call or pick up the item. You can also make a custom order for any harness. The owners were very friendly, once we began to discuss horse stuff. It is a crowded and working shop, so read not "fancy" but with high quality work. The owner told us he primarily caters to local Amish and does mail order work. TIP: CASH ONLY, No credit cards and only local checks or a check might be able to be used for a harness order that will ship after the check clears. They have a phone and fax. I didn't see any online presence, but they did come up when searching for horse harness equipment. We didn't know about the cash only (local area) and we had a modest $10 order. They initially were reluctant, but then cool, about accepting $5 cash and $5 out of state check. My cultural ignorance on the area. Anyway, I'm a fan and we will be contacting them if we have future needs with harnesses or parts.
