Custom Metalwork, metal repair and Metalworking classes
In a world that is all to often composed of the mass-produced and workplaces that fail to satisfy ones need for creativity, the Pilgrim Soul Forge offers the alternative!
Forged Furniture and House Jewelry
I offer traditional and fanciful metalwork at fair prices, with your satisfaction my aim.
I most frequently work in the Craftsman and French-Deco styles, but I would love to make something for you that is a product of your vision.
If you would like a new challenge, I also offer classes in basic and intermediate blacksmithing, bladesmithing, welded fabrication and welded sculpture.
Blades and Tools
I hand forge knives and other tools to customer specifications. I enjoy recreating historic knives and other artifacts from the 18th and 19th centuries. I perform my own heat treating using both modern and primitive methods. Additionally, I hand-make the sheaths for my blades, using leather, wood or both!
