Traditional Blacksmithing

50


50 per unit - - Posted Jul 30, 2017

I am offering my blacksmithing services. I put "traditional" in the title because i do everything by hand. There are no power hammers used, no drill press, no electronic machines whatsoever; i file and sand the steel by hand, use chisels and punches when need be and try to make my products truly unique. I even carve my own handle scales and handles from various woods. Because of my processes for smithing, generally no 2 items will be the same, but if you want a pair or set of something i will try my darndest. I will make you a knife, axe, kitchen utensils, tools, anything within my ability to make! Prices and time frame will change quite a bit depending on what you want made, but I'll get the job done as long as it is within my skill set, and due to my current equipment situation I can't take on projects too large such as full length swords. Now unfortunately I do not cover shipping with my services, so anyone who commissions my services pays actual shipping cost. *Unless I am also receiving a shipped good from whoever I am exchanging with*

Training & Qualifications


I'm fairly well practiced and I take what I do very seriously. I know my different types of steels and my types of woods so my products can be made with proper quality for both. I will be completely honest that I have never apprenticed with anyone, but i refuse to do poor work.

Availability & Preferences


Sunday and Monday will be when I'm forging my orders, as far as getting in contact with me goes I will respond to messages ASAP

Trading Preference: I’m flexible, just hit me up!

Joey was a pleasure to co-create with. He took his time and sent pictures of the piece I commissioned in trade for my stone carving that I made for hi...m. I last heard from him saying rhat he would reship as there was a paperwork glitch. I got a message from UPS saying sender requested package back. I am ready to ship his sculpture but I have not heard from him in several weeks. I did not get a response yet about how to proceed. I have cancelled the deal after one month off the deadline. I hope this gets sorted out because he did appear to put a lot of time and effort into this trade as did I. I have been shipping out my sculptures for 25 years and I know sometimes a glitch can occur but comnunication is very important for trust in any transaction and I an waiting a few weeks not getting a definitive response or even a hello. I plan to put his piece into my next show if I don't hear from him this week. I hope to hear something soon and I wish him well.show more
