We are a small family run blacksmith shop in Beulah, Colorado
When I started blacksmithing in 1987 it was with the idea of making my own traditional woodworking tools. Since then I have found that most of my work has been for the mountain man rendezvous crowd. My true love in the shop is still the creation of unique, high quality one of a kind tools and custom hardware items.
Besides blacksmithing my wife, Janet and I are involved in a long term log home building project. The new shop will be just a short walk from the house. This is all in addition to my full time job as a firefighter for the city of Aurora, Colorado.
