The blacksmith craft has likely existed in Grønning for centuries. The earliest documented smithy in the town dates back to 1767. The village blacksmith played a central role in the rural community of that time. As a versatile craftsman, he mastered a wide range of tasks – everything from tooth extraction to forging iron for both large and small tools that were essential for farm operations and daily household chores. The image is from around 1910 before the building was demolished.

The Sallingland Rake was developed based on the premise of creating a product that was both locally produced and made from durable, high-quality materials. It was designed to be adaptable to different needs and adjustable later if customer requirements changed.
