Welcome! Some of the tools that I make for other metalworkers are newly available for sale on this website.

I got my start in metalsmithing with a work study job as a blacksmith at the University of Oregon. I was to, among other things, make tools for the jewelry studio, especially various punches. All things cycle back around, and I am once again making tools, though the tools I made back then look rather crude, when compared with those I am selling now.
