Blacksmithing Woodworking Heritage Consulting
Welcome to the blacksmith shop!
I have worn a variety of hats, both in my professional and non-professional pursuits. Currently I am working as a blacksmith. I do not shoe horses (although I have trained as a farrier) as I have specialized in demonstrating and interpreting the craft of blacksmithing. You can see photos and descriptions of my mobile rig below.
When working on my own I produce of variety of household furnishings: fireplace hardware, kitchen hardware, curtain hardware as well as items for the garden and camping.
As a blacksmith I maintain the blacksmith shop at the Cumberland Heritage Village Museum, and I also travel to different sites presenting an interpretive blacksmithing programme.

A Picture of a Blacksmith to Colour
Teachers, Blacksmiths and Museum Programmers are welcome to copy this picture of a blacksmith for children to colour. There is no charge but I ask that you do not alter the picture and that it is distributed free of charge.
