Blacksmith's credo
Wrought ironwork - I will design and forge ironwork for your
particular backyard, office or summerhouse and install it myself.
particular backyard, office or summerhouse and install it myself.
Sometimes
my customers come to me complaining that the items available in the stores are
not quite right and that they would like to order real wrought ironwork. Different
items are needed – a canopy for the front door, a candle holder for the church. On one occasion, however, a customer approached me with quite a bizarre problem.
They needed a forged cross for the grave of a loved one, but several workshops
had tur-ned them down- it was not profitable to make just one cross, but the
customer did not need more... Forging the one cross was not a problem for me
and thus we struck a deal. Some things can only be ordered directly from the
smith these days.
