Custom made fire poker set. Hand forged and machined stainless steel components. The base is a gear reclaimed from the bell housing of a large truck and adds a heart of character to the piece. As with most of my work it is largely spontaneous and the materials I use tend to dictate what it becomes while I create it.

This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I am a 30 year old metalsmith specializing in custom metal fabricating, blacksmithing and jewelry. I wake up every morning breathing ideas in metal. Its such great stuff! I wouldn't have named my new son, Eisen, german for "Iron" if I wasn't sure he'd grow up a blacksmith just like me and love metal like me. No pressure of course, I will let him do whatever he wants.
I pride myself in working with clients to create unique functional art pieces, objects and furniture that can stand alone and make a statement as well as accompany their surroundings to improve the current atmosphere. This can apply to furniture, jewelry and sculpture all the same.
When possible I employ the use of recycled materials and resources to create my custom projects. I feel this is a vital component in creating original work and in many ways contributes to a more unique creation with built in history.
Thank you for visiting and feel free to contact us for more information or to commission a custom creation!

For Silver Liner Wedding BandsMy wedding ring turned out EXACTLY like I hoped. And, working with the Hans was extremely easy. He was immediately responsive to all of my questions and concerns. The ring was finished and delivered well ahead of schedule. I would not hesitate to collaborate with Hans again.

For 10 bottle openers for groomsman gifts may 3This project was a wonderful experience. Hans kept me informed throughout the process and documented each step with photos and constant communication. The end product of 12 bottle openers were outstanding workmanship. I can't wait to give them as gifts to my wedding party guests. Thanks again
