BUILT TO LAST !!!! Solid hand forged items are made to stand the test of time.
I had just completed an all night shift at the shipyard in Belfast, where I worked as a welder, when I saw an advert that transformed my life.

It was for a course to study as a heritage blacksmith, which was funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, under its Skills for the Future programme. I got the placement, left my job and within days realised that this is what I was born to do.

As soon as the course was completed I set up my own business, Black Anvil, which is based on the family farm in the remote and tranquil Clogher Valley, Co Tyrone.

I graduated from university in Mechanical Engineering, got my codes in welding and today I am one of small handful of young people who are reviving an ancient craft.

My slogan is “ Bringing Metal to Life, ” that is what I do. The joy of it is you can do pretty much what you want with metal once you know how.
