Why use a blacksmith?

1. Strength and Durability

Forging results in a more refined grain structure in the metal, which enhances strength and resilience.

2. Customization and Originality

Blacksmiths can create bespoke pieces tailored to the needs of the customer, complementing the architectural style of the property, and offering a level of customization not possible using mass produced parts. Hand forged items benefit from having unique textures, finishes, and decorative elements, adding artistic value and visual appeal.

3. Historical and Cultural Significance

Blacksmithing originated during the Iron Age and has a rich history globally. In helping to preserve these techniques, we continue to contribute to our cultural heritage.
