Burning Hammer Forge (More accurately Burning Hammer Studios, Forge, Furnace & Kiln) And the name was easy after talking my way into a job as a blacksmith the first day I caught my hammer on fire  An inside joke on myself. Quote:

Gobbler Forge is taken I believe. How about, Don't Stand in the RAIN! Forge. I like Turkey Shoot Forge though. I know I prefer to bet on a sure thing when I can. Frosty

Well, Unicorn is the English translation of my last name. In English my first and last name translates to Beloved Unicorn. So I guess when people call me by my first name they are calling me ..... Last edited by UnicornForge; 11-01-2008 at 01:57 PM. |

Mine is Rabenwald Metalsmything: Rabenwald is German for Raven's Wood. Which refers to the Ravens that would caw back and forth behind my old shop. Metalsmything: because we will work in anything that wont kill us, Smything is an old way of spelling smithing, and as a friend told me a while back...Metals-my-thing"

I just never had any fires with coal till I started smithing. When I saw the thick cottony-looking smoke when the fire is first started, I liked the look of it. So, Smoky Forge it is. Now my handle is becoming smoky or Smoky Rick |

Any response on my idea for a name? I had hoped it would provoke something :/

I call my outfit - Double Y Design Metal Works I do more fabrication but have gotten more blacksmith work in the last few years. The Double Y comes from my registered cattle and horse brand here in Montana. Not enough cattle carry my brand to be much extra income, but the herd is growing. The brand is a lazy Y hanging a walking Y. Double Y Design John |
