| Introduction | One day while cleaning the barn, Bryan was trying to figure out what to do with all the used horseshoes he had. An idea came to him. He built a coal forge, took some classes and started “playing”. He created various figurines and signs for friends and, before he knew it, orders started coming in and Forgeries Blacksmithing was born. A fascination with the old west was the inspiration for many of his initial pieces. However, he has since branched out to encompass a wider genre, using discarded railroad spikes and rasp files along with the horseshoes for the base of his projects. Sometimes thought-provoking, sometimes whimsical, he strives to capture the envisioned effect in each piece he creates. Always the student, he continues to refine his blacksmithing and welding techniques, which is reflected in the creativity of his projects. He enjoys the challenge of his “one-of-a-kind” custom orders, but is happy to create customer favorites … using the shoes of a treasured horse when requested. |
