CC Rustic Steel & Design

After many hours of working on these nature inspired candle holders, I am very pleased on how well they turned out! This project has created some new future ideas that will certainly be a challenge but a lot of new skill and art work will be forged! These have been sent out for a Christmas gift and I hope they enjoy them as much as I enjoyed making them. Merry Christmas everyone and a Happy New Year. Chris.

Here's what I had in the fire from the last post. I made this large hanger and small screw hooks to complete the sign my fiancee made for our lane way. We had this idea for a while and finally got all the antique pieces needed. I love making custom stuff like this !!! There are just some things you cant buy at the store anymore ! And really, it's nice to have put our touch on it and have something different. It's polished to bare steel so it can rust and age with time to match the draught horse whipple

Hmmmm wonder what this is gonna be......

Some different handmade items we finished up.

Fancy Arrow S-Hook. Hang all types of outdoor items like bird feeders, bird houses, flower pots etc.

Proudly Canadian Made! These will be given as a gift to the groomsmen in an upcoming wedding.

Dandy little birthday gift I hammered out. Personalized with their date of birth stamped into the railway spike. A gift that will last a lifetime....

I was asked to make a wedding ring recently and thought it would be a great little challenge as I have never done something like this. They had asked to have it made from the head of a bolt. This is what I came up with. Let me know what you think !

Some more items hammered out.

Couple new fire pokers...

New little fire place shovel I did. Turned out great!

Twisty Fire Poker. Lots of twists in this one, it's hard to see in the picture but under the wrapped handle is a cube twist that I slightly revealed. Something different I havent done or seen done. Did this one with a rake end, they work really well when playing with the fire.

Made up another nice fire poker. Love making them !

Hand made these fireplace mantel straps recently for my own fireplace. Made the 8x8 wood mantel from an ash tree on our property with a chainsaw. I wanted the old look of bare metal hammered straps with square bolts. I love having something unique and different. This specific project for my fireplace is what really made me want to learn the art of Blacksmithing. I want to thank all the people who take the time to veiw and like my posts, like the page and share the new items I... have made over my first year. Its been alot of hours in the shop learning this old art and striving to get better as I continue. If your looking for something unique, feel free to contact me. I'm located just outside of Middleville Ontario, about 45 minutes from Ottawa. Thanks Chris.

Some pictures of the railing I did recently, painted and installed.

Completed the Garden Gate and got it installed today. Looks amazing !! Beautiful flower garden now can been seen through the open style gate.

Sneek peek on Garden Gate I'm doing. It's coming along really nice. Handle and hinges to be done yet and then paint and install.

Thanks to Brian for sending these pics to me of the handmade ironwork hanger I made for his mailbox, looks great Brian. I had fun making it for you! =CC=

Custom flower basket hanger and a custom fire poker hanger for a fire place beam. =C=

Neat little picture of the last fire poker I made that was sent to me.
