We create hand forged items from campfire sets to arbors and railings. We use old world methods including a 240+ 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!
Sherry and Suzi will be at all the shows together and Logan will join us in Tx. We look forward to seeing all our friends and faire family soon.

**********
It is with a heavy heart that we must say goodbye to our friend, partner, mentor and founder Bill Wiedemer. On 2/13/23 Bill suffered a severe heart attach and passed away. We have gained another angel and his forge is quiet now. He is loved by many and the lives he touched will be forever changed.Ravensmiths will forge on and we will always have a part of him with us.We keep our thought and prayers with his family and firends.
