    Darin was amazing to work with - so nice and accommodating and easy to communicate with. The branch railing he made for our staircase is gorgeous and a work of art. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend Darin and Hellgate Forge.

    My 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.

    Hellgate Forge made some beautiful square pulls for a two custom cabinets I had designed for a client. The pulls will just put this cabinet above my expectations. They look fabulous and Darin at Hellgate was very helpful, professional and worked very hard to make everything the way I wanted. I couldn't think of a better process. Thanks Darin!!

    For Chris' Copper barstools
    4.8

    Darin makes functional art out of metal. The barstools and table base he made are beautiful and bombproof. He took what little "vision" I had and created some truly unique pieces, which ended up being exactly what we were looking for. And when delivery became an issue, Darin went ABOVE and BEYOND to make it right. Stand up fella who makes wonderful stuff.

    For looking for a log stamping Hammer
    5.0

    Hellgate is GREAT! They kept me up to date on each and every step of the process. This hammer looks exactly as I had imagined it. The handle is perfect length to get a good swing at the log and imprint the company's logo. I will suggest friends take a look at this company for any products they need created. Thank you again for the great work!

    For Display cases and tables for a clothing store

    We 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!!
