Sherry (Hammer) has been smithing for 16 + years. Bill has over 40+ years experience blacksmithing, and Logan has been smithing with us in TX for the last 4 years.
We create hand forged items from campfire sets to arbors and railings. We use old world methods including a 200+ year old bellows, 18th century forge, traditional tools and anvil.
We welcome custom work and love a challenge.
We can make primitive, modern and fantasy items.
If you can imagine it we can make it!
Bill is still regaining his strength after his health scare in 2020 and we are hoping to have him with us soon.
Sherry and Suzi will be at all the shows together and we look forward to seeing all our friends and faire family soon.
