Tim
Wheeler
Blacksmith
Tim
had always said that if he lived 100 years ago he would have been a
blacksmith. He was
fascinated by what could be done to steel with fire and a hammer. He
eventually realized that he didn't need to live in the past to become a
blacksmith. The role of the
blacksmith has altered over the years but many things have remained the
same and Tim has enjoyed learning the traditional skills.
Tim
opened his blacksmith shop at Wheelers Pancake House in 2004.
Since then he has been making unique hand forged items for sale.
Using a traditional coal-fired forge, each piece is heated to
1500-2000°F, allowing it to be formed into functional and artistic
pieces. Tim fashions a
variety of items out of steel, including sign hangers, bathroom and
kitchen fixtures, shelves, side tables, candle holders, fireplace
implements, and plant hangers. A
number of some of the smaller items are displayed for sale at the
Pancake House.
Tim
is pleased to accept custom orders.
Items for your home, garden, or work can be customized to suit
your personal tastes and needs. Tim
