All our work starts in the forge. The techniques of shaping hot steel by hammer is timeless and effective.

Steel and iron can be joined by forge-welding, a solid state joining process as ancient as ironwork itself.

Materials can also be joined by brazing or soldering, or mechanically joined with rivets and other joinery.

Forged pieces in progress emerge further by the reductive processes of grinding, filing, and sanding.

Tools and blades that are edged or faced with tool steel are hardened and tempered according to their specific properties and uses.

Composites and non-homogeneous materials are generally etched to reveal their dynamic character.

Organics are shaped and finished, and assembled with steel components.
