5 out of 5 starsBill is the nicest guy when it comes to answering questions and keeping you up to date! My wheel is SO STURDY SO EASY TO ASSEMBLE!!!! I watched so many YouTube vids on ppl assembling these, with tricks and tips to make it easier and mine went together no issue, like butter it's so smooth. it has zero flex and is THICK and tough skinned with the PVC piping he chooses I'd bet he's accurate in saying in can go on asphault. All in all if/when I need a wheel tune up or a new one I will use Bill, his Craftmen ship is impeccable. The only thing I would recommend if getting a colored wheel is perhaps choose a light color like orange or red even pink, as the way the pvc grips the metal it can leaves some "bubbling" effects which can be more noticeable in the darker colors such as mine (purple) but other than that it's a gorgeous wheel!!

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 37 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 “Made in America” 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.
