MY
Services
CUSTOM FORGING
As a blacksmith I can offer truly unique items because I use traditional forging techniques. In my shop I am equipped with a coal forge capable of heating steel to temperatures exceeding 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit making it malleable enough for me to form it under my hammer. This means that each piece I produce is individually crafted and one of a kind.
INTERIOR DESIGN PROJECTS
I have worked with clients on many occasions to produce unique high-end interiors with a heavy focus on hand wrought ironwork and mixed media fabrication, in order to achieve a cohesive and impressive aesthetic for homes, restaurants, and commercial spaces. I will collaborate with clients, designers, and architects to design and execute projects including doors, furniture, light fixtures, and cabinetry while adhering to a high standard of production and a totally unique aesthetic.
SCULPTURE
While the blacksmith was traditionally a practical trade I like to incorporate my fine arts education into the craft of blacksmithing to create works of art that are substantial and durable. I enjoy producing sculptural work for my customers whether it is a stand alone art work or incorporated into a functional piece as a decorative element. I enjoy experimenting with texture, mixed materials, and vivid imagery in my work.
ORNAMENTAL IRONWORK
I can offer a wide variety of ornamental ironwork for interior and exterior settings. Projects such as railings, gates, fences, and arbors will be made to fit the customers specifications and aesthetic. I am happy to accommodate projects large and small and in any style.
HISTORIC REPRODUCTION
A great deal of the work that passes through my shop is historical reproduction and repair. I specialize in the reproduction priod appropriate hardware such as strap hinges, dead bolts, latches, fireplace cranes, shutter stays, and much more. I also offer authentic repairs of antique wrought iron and cast iron elements including antique railings, hinges, and ornamental pieces.
WELDING
Along with custom forge work I also offer welding services out of my shop. I can accommodate fabrication projects and welding repair projects including cast iron weld repairs.
