5 out of 5 starsSO BEAUTIFUL! I live in New Mexico and recently moved into a gorgeous home with a large handmade fireplace. It really needed some tools that were just as beautiful. These are the ones. They look gorgeous and are well made. I have used them practically every day since they arrived. No problems with craftsmanship. One request: Make a handle pull for the flue that matches!!

5 out of 5 starsThese tools are a beautiful work of art and I am so happy with this purchase! They are exquisitely made and the patina is gorgeous. I love the heft and feel of the tools - I wanted something substantial and this really feels great! The detail and care of the work are evident. Such high quality and worth it! Thank You so much!

5 out of 5 starsI'm so happy with these fireplace tools. I've shared photos with everyone I know. I would gladly by tongs, too, if you ever start making some to match.

About FloridianForge
Celebrating my 30th year as an ornamental metal smith.......
My name is Bill Roberts, I live and work in Central Florida. I own/operate Custom Design Metal Arts in Ocala. I've been doing decorative metalwork for over 30 years. Starting this metalsmithing journey in 1984 as a jeweler and caster. Producing one of a kind pieces using the lost wax casting process.
With a jewelers eye for detail, and finding myself drawn to other metals, in 1989. I began my apprenticeship, with an internationally renown ornamental metalsmithing firm that specialized in architectural metalwork, of the highest quality. I was introduced to larger scale ornamental metalwork.
Then the seed was planted that motivated me to learn the forge and fabrication approach to metalwork.
That experience has allowed me to broaden my artistic horizons to include not only fine jewelry in gold and sterling but also what I like to refer to as "house jewelry". That being Entry gates, railings, doors, lighting, furniture, sculpture and much more of mixed metals. Including aluminum, steels (stainless -mild & damascus), brass, bronze and copper. Of late, the majority of my work has fallen in the architectural ornamental metal category. I specialize in hand forged or custom cast, one of a kind and limited edition designs. I enjoy working with original designs of my own as well as collaborating with clients.
I started making and offering Cyr Wheels early in 2014. So...besides the hand forged fire place tools....I NOW...am proud to offer the least expensive Cyr Wheels on Etsy. Made to the same professional, high quality standards as the rest of my metal work. Look forward to custom making something for you.
Here is a video about the MAKING of the Cyr wheels... SHOP BLOG link on TOP RIGHT OF PAGE, under RELATED LINKS, IS ALSO THE SAME VIDEO LINK :)))) they didn't have another NAME option, so I chose Shop Blog :(:) or just cut and paste the URL below.
