Vince Nakovics welcomes you to Happy Haven Forge!
Blacksmithing has long been acknowledged as "King of Crafts" and continues to be so today. Many individuals think of Blacksmiths shoeing a horse, today Farriers perform that specialized area, caring and mending hooves as only they can.
Blacksmithing today is about the creation of utilitarian art works and forged art. I plan to help in preserving the ancient art of blacksmithing and the traditional methods to the best of my abilities.
When something is made by the hammer and anvil there is a special quality about it that cannot be matched through fabrication. The detailing of each part and inch are to be felt and experienced. Blacksmiths today are as much about the utilitarian as we are about the creation of art. Creations made at the anvil today, as in the past will more than likely last a life time and longer.
