He combines blacksmithing and modern welding to produce items suitable f or the most elegant of homes and gardens. Some of Daniel's work can be found at the Schlitz Audubon Nature Center and at the 230-year old Jerusalem Mill living history museum in Hartford County, Maryland. Daniel's work has also joined the work blacksmiths from around the world when it toured the nation in the Mastermyr Collection, for which he reproduced 4 items found in a 1,200 year-old Norse tool chest recovered from a Viking dig. Most important, we are proud to keep the craft of blacksmithing alive, not only by increasing its visibility and availability in a new millennium, but also by training new smiths in this historic art. |
