Big Blackfoot Rocker #1
Salvaged and reclaimed from the Big Blackfoot River in western Montana, wagon tire iron is reforged into a rocker frame and reclaimed Ponderosa pine timbers from the Bonner dam is used for the back rest and seat. The dam was laid in 1889 to provide power for the Big Blackfoot Milling Co's sawmill, a flour mill and a holding log pool for logs sent afloat by loggers miles upstream.

Dec 12, 2013We knew we needed one of kind display cabinets for our retail location. When we stumbled upon the Custom Made web site and started to browse through the artists and craftsmen we knew instantly that we wanted steel cabinets from Hellgate Forge. We contacted Darin through the site and he immediately got back to us to start the design process. It was really a very exciting process to have an idea, share with Hellgate Forge and watch it come to life. When our custom handmade display cabinets arrived they were better than we imagined. Upon instillation people immediately started commenting on the displays. They perfectly complement our one of kind space, serve a purpose as well as stand-alone as a piece of artwork. Hellgate Forge stayed in contact with us through the entire project and accommodated our very short time frame. Our display cabinets were well worth the investment and we could not be happier with the service and product we received from Hellgate Forge. Thanks Guys!!

Apr 24, 2015My experience with Darin of Hellgate Forge was exceptionally professional. He was very accommodating to my request and did not mind adjusting the fine details for a price more than fair. I strongly recommend him for any similar projects requiring a skilled blacksmith.
