While in High School I took a class called introduction to computer information systems. It was then that I developed a passion for Information Technology. After High School I found a few I.T. jobs but I didn't enjoy the work. I shifted from the I.T field to Office Management in my mid twenties. While I was good at the work I found it rather boring. I had managed a used car dealership, a couple of apartment complexes and even a cleaning business. I discovered that I really enjoyed problem solving and helping people. After getting bored of the office management work I decided to try other things. I found that I really enjoyed Blacksmithing. I became obsessed with learning how to turn such a hard material into putty in my hands (or under my hammer rather). A lot of people doubted me because I have very little experience with anything "physical" in nature. I had no skills with a welder or propane or even a grinder. So it seemed odd to them that I would be interested in this craft. However about a year and a half ago I got my forge and I began to tinker and just play. There's still so much I don't know but I am very interested in this craft. I opened my Etsy store a few weeks ago and am starting to sell some of my work. Thank you very much for choosing Blue Iron Forge and I am honestly humbled that you would even consider putting something that I created into your home. Thank you and God bless you.

5 out of 5 starsI saw some of these on Etsy and wanted to get one but none really caught my eye, until I saw the ones offered by Blue Iron Forge. I ended up ordering two of them and they arrived on time. The price was good plus free shipping! After receiving the two I ordered I was disappointed!! That I only bought two, lol. The craftsmanship is good and the colors are very close to the stock photo used in the advertisement. As with anything hand made, especially something that is forged, there can be discrepancies between the photo and what you actually receive. That's the beauty of things like this, each one is unique in some way. Dan, the owner of Blue Iron Forge, included a thank you card and a short hand written note thanking me for my purchase, which I thought was an nice personal touch. I will return for more purchases in the future!
