In the Smithy

This is where it all happens—steel, fire, and a whole lot of stubbornness.

These photos capture the process behind the pieces. No filters, no polish—just the real work of heating, shaping, and coaxing raw metal into something with weight, purpose, and presence. Every spark, every hammer blow, every detail you see here is part of what makes each piece unique.

I’m not a machine—I’m a guy in a small forge in Duvall, Washington, doing this the old way because it still works. Take a look behind the scenes.
