Welcome to Hand & Hammer

I first began working in my dad’s carpentry shop at 7. From bandsaws and chisels and sawdust began a love for working with my hands.
At 14 I was introduced to a local bladesmith who offered to teach me how to forge knives. 

From that first knife I forged I was hooked. Even today, shaping glowing hot metal with a hammer is fascinating to me.
I’ve grown up working in my dad’s business, combining wood and iron work for high-end clientele across the country. At 18 I started my own blacksmithing business and  at 26 I’m still working the business to this day. 

While I specialize in blacksmith hammers and tools, I have years of experience crafting architectural elements for high end homes throughout the country, as well as fine quality forged knives, and forged jewelry.
