History
This business evolved from a hobby into a growing blacksmith operation. I began forging as a hobby around 2012 and when people started asking me to make things for them and to give as gifts, I felt I was ready to move forward. I am a retired firefighter and forging has allowed me to keep fire in my life. I fought it for twenty years, now I use it to create artful and functional pieces designed to last more than a lifetime.
Specialties
This is small metalwork shop which began life as a blacksmith shop specializing in hand forged, functional works. I continue to forge commissioned work such as custom knives and other cutlery, cooking and grilling tools, bottle openers, decorative pieces, steel jewelry, rustic items for re-enactors, and many other custom items for clients. Private forging demonstrations also available. Message for details. I have expanded my capabilities to include metal fabrication and welding of garden and yard gates, trellises, and other non-architectural/structural work. CNC plasma cut metal art has become a mainstay as well. I can take a photo or a sketch and produce high quality signage and artistic pieces. Custom signs, address numbers, and other cutouts from steel.
