    Black bear forge got me here. John is doing a series regarding this book.
    Right now he is replicating the anvils that were in the chest! Cheers!

    That dude must have been gutted when he lost those tools, would have been worth a fortune back then, thanks for sharing

    …I’m wondering if the original chest had some type of handles, so one man could lift/ carry it…
    And, what would the full load weigh…?

    This toolbox and its contents are on display at the History Museum in Stockholm. Their new exhibition about the Viking Age is definitely worth seeing if you visit Stockholm.

      Phil Baumhardt if you can specify what exactly you are looking for, I might be able to help. There is a massive amount of literature and databases with finds like these. Mostly unfortunately in Swedish, danish or Norwegian. One place to start can be the history museum in Stockholm. They have a searchable online collections database where most items are listed with images.
      mis.historiska.se/mis/sok/sok.asp
      It’s in Swedish but they seem to have a google translate function
      You can also try the online museum shops of museums specialised in Scandinavian Iron Age.
      The Gotland Museum might have a few books in English.

    This book is awesome. I recently forged a hammer roughly like some of them in the book. Made it as traditionally as I can. It’s a little 7oz wrought iron hammer with Steeled faces imgur.com/gallery/k98ey2E
