I am a blacksmith with 22 years in the ornamental iron business. For 7 years I ran my own shop, then family issues (money) forced me to close and go into the power generating industry. 5 years have past and both the kids are in school so now i am looking at re-opening the old shop. For 3 months now I have tried to track down old contacts and clients with little success. Most are either out of business or having a very slow time right now. I am relatively new to the internet and looking for new venues for my work.
I am a traditionaly trained blacksmith, and have worked in a living history museum for 2 years. I have done many restorations on historic ironwork and made quite a few reproduction pieces. I have studied under, and worked as a sculptor producing modern styled ironwork, sculpture, and furnature. I am a certified welder ,journeyman toolmaker, and journeyman millwright. My shop is well equiped for most any forging job that may come along as well as any fabricating or machining job. What I do not have is any work to do in said shop. After three months the coffers are running low and I fear I may have to go back to rebuilding turbines.
Anybody out there need any ironwork done? I don't have a website yet but have a page on MySpace for the business it is under Louisville Architectural Metals
