Made by the Forge offers a personal and friendly service. All our pieces are
made to order and bespoke orders are welcomed. So when we had a call from Emma Jane we were able to help. She was looking for a special birthday present for her husband. She asked Richard (above) to make a fire-side set of tools with a basket twisted cage on the top. The present was very well received.
“Fabulous success” Will loved the fact that it’s ‘properly’ made (and not from a factory in China)” Emma Jane. Photos to come.
Below shows the tools, on the forge floor, in the process of being made.
Buying handmade products supports local industry and local people and we were all grateful that Emma Jane choose Made by the Forge.
“The price you pay for it is exactly what you see, there are no hidden costs. The revenue stays within the local economy; people are not out of work but working in a local business. We have just taken on a new blacksmith apprentice which is quite something in 2016. He is learning how to make “things” from metal, a skill that needs to carry on living, after all we have a fair history with the blacksmith and we feel this need preserving!” Richard Fishenden
