I have heard it said that blacksmithing is a dying art, a lost art. Well, I am here to tell you it is not! There are even orginazations like the Northwest Blacksmithing Association that are helping to keep this art alive and well! My name is Eric Grip and I have been blacksmithing for nearly 20 years. I am mostly self taught. I do demonstrations at local fairs like the Heritage Festival in Redmond, Washington. I have been buckskinning and rondezvousing for as long as I have been blacksmithing. All my ironwork is made by hand. I use traditional jointery were applicable (ie: forge welds on tomahawk). I do accept special orders and will make your special project. Just send me the particulars and a drawing were applicable and I will quote you a price.Now accdepting Paypal! just send me an email with what you want to buy i will figure total price with shipping and send an email with a paypal link!
