Every job we do is unique, and each customer is an individual, with special tastes and needs. We spend time with our customers, getting to know them and learning from them.


Timothy Greene: The Blacksmith

Tim started his twenty year career in metalworking as a welder and metal fabricator. He apprenticed with Robert Klar before striking out on his own as a blacksmith. When he's not in his own shop, Tim can often be found shoeing horses at several Maine farms, giving Blacksmithing Demonstrations throughout Maine and New England, or volunteering at the local fire department.


Gretchen Davis: The Blacksmith's Wife

Gretchen has a career in retail and business spanning over ten years, during which she has experienced nearly every aspect of running a small business. Gretchen handles many of the day-to-day chores of the forge, and has been known to lend a hand in the shop, as well. When she's not at work, Gretchen can be found at historical reenactments in the US and Canada, or caring for cats at the local animal shelter.



Boss Lady Assumpta: The Real Boss

Assumpta took over as boss shortly after her arrival in early 2000. She really knows nothing about metalwork or business, but has nevertheless proven to be an able supervisor. Assumpta serves as a living clock for Tim and Gretchen, making sure that they never miss mealtimes. She also makes a good paperweight, having taken up residency in Gretchen's Inbox.
