Finally! An update from Orion Forge, Bend OR source of all things blacksmith

It's been way too long since we last updated this little ol' blacksmith blog, but thankfully it's not because Orion Forge has been out of work. If anything, it's the opposite! Lots of blacksmith lessons, furniture building and a current custom wrought iron staircase project has us busy busy. Don't worry, we've been taking our share of vacation and play time...it is summer after all!

In any event, below are some recent pics from around the shop, blacksmith lessons and recent iron work coming out of Orion Forge. The blacksmith lessons have been especially fun and rewarding as people are discovering the joy and challenge of working with metal, an ancient art.


Silas watching his dad Kellen forge a wizard head at one of the dinner forge parties.


Forged flowers and stems.

Latest wall sculpture 24" x 17"- the blue painted steel was an old snow shovel.

We'll be better about posting more photos in the future, especially as more lessons happen. If you're interested in learning more about the blacksmith lessons, check out the post below or contact Orion Forge. We'd love to chat about any metal projects you may have!

Cheers!
