We love little jobs, especially for friends and neighbours.
Earlier this year we were asked to make a frame for these steel letters to create a house sign. They painted and mounted the sign themselves and we think it looks brilliant!

Hand forged in our small forge in Seascale, this traditional fire poker is ideal for fireplaces and wood-burning stoves.

This is an extra long poker for use with an outdoor fire pit that we were comissioned to create as a birthday present.

The tip is forged down to a tapered point with a spur end, allowing logs and coal to be rolled safely and easily. A decorative barley twist is forged into the centre of the shaft, adding strength and visual interest. 🪵🔥🐻

We were comissioned to build a dog crate for a camper van by a lovely couple, they gave a very detailed spec on what they would like, such as a large lockable door, a slide door into the main cabin, to be animal safe & easily removeable. I think we met the brief, plus added additional doggy pawprint decals🐾
Very grateful that we get to create bespoke projects for wonderful customers, of the human and fluffy kind! 🔨🔥🐻

As it's getting colder, why not treat yourself to a little port to warm your cockles! Here is a lovely set of port tongs we fixed for our good friends!
Port tongs are a tool used to open old, delicate bottles of port or other wines by creating a clean break in the neck of the bottle. They are heated over a flame and then applied to the bottle's neck, followed immediately by a cold, damp cloth to cause the glass to fracture cleanly below the cork. 🔥🍾🍷🐻🔥

Wonderful little summer job for a couple in Gosforth. Made a hanging basket bracket to go over an exisiting old gate hook. Doesn't it look lovely.
