Wind Chapman Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I have had a man come around a few times and look at my work at various places lately. Today, he requested that I make andirons to match a fireplace set that he had bought from a blacksmith in Colorado years ago. He brought a poker for me to look at and this was it. The set was made by Francis Whitaker who worked under Samuel Yellin. I just hope that I can meet his expectations. Not bragging here. I just wanted to share.

Jason @ MacTalis Ironworks Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I have faith in you. Whittaker may have ben talented, but in the end he was just a man. do your best and it will be great. I personally prefer the sets made by several smiths, as you get a unique feel to each piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
