A wrought iron gate I made from very old wheel bands and a horse cart axle! It took 7 weeks to forge and assemble. The old iron, textured from years of erosion by the elements, is still very heavy and solid, and I love the natural aesthetic!

I often feel guilty when I need to work late in the evenings to get things done, so I promised my son Iā€™d chisel his name into the gate. When he gets bigger and hopefully has kids of his own, he can show them that his dad made this gate šŸ˜„.

Everything handmade has a story to tell. Support a craftsperson, support local šŸ’™šŸ”„

One of the best things about being a blacksmith is the endless creativity it allows. With a bit of imagination, we can forge anything!

With that in mind, what would you like to see in a future video?

Drop your ideas in the comments!
