STEEL. FIRE. A LITTLE TIME AT THE ANVIL.

Forging iron, self, and balance.

Hand-forged tools and objects, shaped by a curiosity about medicine, anatomy, and how things work.

FROM THE WORKSHOP

Useful things.
Personal stories.

Axes with a story, fire tools with wings, and smaller things made to be used. Some pieces are experiments. Some are gifts. A rotating few are available.

The process is part of the work: forge the shape, test the idea, keep the useful marks, and learn what the next version needs.

CUSTOM WORK

Have an idea?

I take on selected commissions around family and medical training, from fire tools and small forged gifts to handled tools and restorations.

RESTORATION

Old tools can have another working life.

I selectively restore tools when the object and its history make the work worthwhile. The restored axe pictured is one example, rehung with a hand-shaped ash handle.
