Abstract

Ontario Artist Blacksmith
David Robertson

Artist Blacksmith Forged Ironwork Table Sculpture image.

Blacksmithing Since 1987

I have been operating The Hammer and Tongs blacksmithing business in
Ontario since 1987, and I have taught courses in blacksmithing and
knife making as well as performed many demonstrations for the public.
These blacksmithing classes are well received by all partcipants.
A large part of my current work is custom wrought iron work for
customers in southern Ontario. Another area of interest for me is
building air hammers and gas forges as blacksmithing supplies for the
smithing community. These forging hammers allow a small one man shop to
be competive in a mass produced world.
I previously used blacksmith coal but now have switched over to propane
almost exclusively for my blacksmith forge. Most of my work is done on
a double horn European anvil. The quality of the tool shows in the
quality of work. Through the ages the blacksmith has had many roles to
fill. He was a tool maker, a weapons maker, and an artist. Today the
role of the blacksmith has not changed but I prefer to concentrate on
the art work.

costume.
Since I first discovered the art of the blacksmith, some 20 years ago
now, I have tried to educate people on the details of this remarkable
profession. Each blacksmith student gets a dose of my philosophy of how
the metal behaves and what can be accomplished with it.
Customers discover the beauty of the forged steel as well as the
practical nature of the finished piece. The smithing craft, I find, is
based on subtlety not on brute force. I am always coaxing the ironwork
to shape, not forcing it. It is more of a gentle persistent process
than an aggressive one.

Look through the following pages and discover another facet of the
blacksmithing craft.

New! Fundamentals of Blacksmithing Ebook
I have Just Released this new book!
If you would like more information about this book,
which you can download in pdf format click on
Blacksmithing Guide
.
Forged Garden Gate, Forged organic steel forms shaped by blacksmith
David Robertson. Custom work varys from art nouveau such as this gate
to historical reproductions of cooking and camp utensils for
re-enactors. Supplies of this nature are often hard to find at a
reasonable cost.

Smithed Serving Table, Hot worked in gas forge, hammered to shape on
anvil. The last few years furniture has become one of the most sought
after forged items. Classic lines such as this table add a touch of
elegance to a customer's dinning room.
If you care to look through the Hand Forged Ironwork Gallery you will
find examples of style and form that may compliment your personal
decor. I welcome inquiries for custom work and can design to your
specifications or work from your designs.

I have also started an educational blacksmith video series. These
blacksmithing videos include Gas Forge Construction, and soon to be
released will be a series on blacksmithing techniques.

Hot Sculpted Wizard Hook, demonstrated in intermediate blacksmith
class. The hot steel allows the sculpture of faces or flowers as well
as many other forms. There are few other mediums that are as durable as
forged steel.
Although time consuming the added details that are possible from
working the metal hot add life and character to each hand forged piece.
I pride myself on being able to create one of a kind work that will
last far longer than I will.

Please feel free to look around the site and see what interests you. I
also welcome general or technical questions about smithing. If I don't
have the answers I will try to point you in the right direction. Keep
in mind that my primary job is to forge the pieces so I am not always
on the computer but will try to reply at least in a few days.

Heads up: There's an ongoing spamdexing of Google searchbot algorithms. Sites that are 'copies of copies' and cloaked sites which include Zorgium keywords presented to search engine crawlers yet garbage content presented to human visitors were hosted on thousands of IP addresses and domains registered immediately after the introduction of Zorgium in November of 2009. The Hostgator/'The Planet'/Softlayer datacenters in Texas seem to be the epicenter of this activity in conjunction with anonymously registered domains of various TLD's but primarily .info domains at Godaddy which, in our opinion, has some sort of connection to the domains of goldmint.in and goldmint.org. Google has begun to notice this and has begun to lower the ranking of these sites and put our original sites back on top of the search rankings. These actions, as far as we can tell, negatively impact the use of the keyword 'zorgium' as a search term and provided little benefit, if any, to the perpetrators.
