Hand Forged Swing-Rod
This swing rod was designed for a customer who needed extra strength and a hand forged look. Our blacksmith forged the rod from one piece of solid 5/8″ round bar, and gave the 2×6″ back-plate a simple but handsome look by hammering the corners into a flare. You will not find this design in any [...]

Steelworkers United By Cheryl Draa
My 30th High School Reunion was this weekend, and I traveled to Ohio to see all my friends from long ago. I was impressed with how accomplished they have all become, and how they have blossomed in their skills. The drive up and back seemed longer than the actual reunion, as it was 12 hours [...]

Ace and Ludlow From Janet Elliot at Sew Dynamic Designs
These are my “innocent” sleeping grand dogs, Ace and Ludlow.

Zoe is THE sweetest dog ever. We take her to doodle romps, she lays around in the doodle pose, which is on her back, all 4 legs flopped open. We are on the way to the lake now, she loves riding on the boat. I’m hoping she will learn to swim this summer !

Some of you more devoted whyhelians may remember a previous post in which we hand-forged a finial prototype that turned out to be a bust.
