Jymm now resides in Ambridge , PA and specializes in museum quality reproductions and custom orders such as cooking utensils, fireplace equipment, architectural hardware, lighting devices, and tools.

    Hello Karl,
    I'm looking for any ideas to launch a blacksmithing education program at our high school (examples of workshops or school clubs would be great too). Unfortunately, I didn't find any additional information (hammer in blacksmith link gave me an error).
