Building on traditional methods and using time-tested materials, Solomon from The Solo Blacksmith focuses on a useful, rough and ready, pared back design. He believes everyday, raw materials are given value by skilled hands and time of the maker; it can turn a piece of scrap into long lasting objects of daily use. Creating functional tools is what drew Solomon into this craft; pans for the kitchen, chisels to turn bowls, axes and knives to whittle spoons and endless possibilities abound.
