On a recent trip to Charleston South Carolina, I went to visit the legendary
blacksmith artist Phillip Simmons. I was informed by his cousin Joseph Simmons
that Phillip retired in 2007 at the age of 94 and now resides in a rest home. Phillip
Simmons passed away 2 weeks later at the age of 96. His memory lives on in the
incredible Ironwork he created throughout Charleston and around the United
States. I spent an entire day walking the streets of Charleston and viewing his
magnificent creations of amazing iron artistry. I dedicate this piece to his
memory and our common bond of creating iron work the old fashioned way, by
hand.

anything from a candle holder to

| The Lime |
I had a great customer e-mail me and asked me to create a custom piece for him. He wanted
the outline of a Lime hand forged, with the word LIME inside. He told me it was a gift for his
wife for their 6th wedding anniversary. When he told me that, I had to know the story
behind it, and this is what he said, "The story behind it is kind of amusing... my wife's
handwriting is questionable to say the least, and one day she left me a note asking me to
marinate the meat with lime.. which i did... only to find out that she had just asked me to
marinate the meat and signed the note "L, me" (as in "love comma me)... so ever since then
we always sign our emails or cards with LIME..." It was such a pleasure making this piece
and as I shared the story with everyone I knew, it brought a great big smile on their face. So
Happy Anniversary Peter and Sharon!!

| New style hand forged napkin rings |
I forged this fireplace set which was designed by a very close friend and
Master Blacksmith Wesley Angel of Newfound Forge in Leicester, NC.
Wesley came up with this design after finding a couple of Railroad
Spikes and called me to tell me he wanted me to build it since it was
more my style than his. This set is built almost entirely out of recycled
railroad components.
$675.00
