Classes

 

Front Step Forge started quite literally as a portable blacksmith shop on the front steps of the many houses I lived in during university. I taught myself the basics of forging and by 1992 I established Front Step Forge in it's first location. I have been in my present location since 1994. The shop is a well equipped 2500 sq feet with 3 forging stations, I have several large and small powerhammers with just about every tool a blacksmith and metal artist could want.

 

I have taken on an amazing variety of commissions from exotic railings where the detail was so intricate the build time was one hundred and four days to the simplest coat hook completed and delivered in a day. I do historic recreations and restorations as well as my own brand of completely new designs that stay true to traditional techniques. I am often called upon to extend and reuse architectural antiques using the same methods as the originals which requires precisely matching the finishes to get the look of authenticity.
