McLellan Blacksmithing began business in June 1977. Originally a "traditional" blacksmithing operation with a heavy emphasis on shoeing horses.

In the mid 1980's the emphasis shifted toward more architectural and interior design metalwork. Tastes had changed and metalwork was back in vogue. By the early 1990's the business had expanded to the point that it could no longer be run as a one man shop.

4worldlovers: A blacksmith is a metalsmith who creates objects from wrought iron or steel by forging the metal, using tools to hammer, bend, and cut . Blacksmiths produce objects such as artful gates, grilles, railings, light fixtures, furniture, sculpture, tools, agricultural implements, decorative and religious items, cooking utensils and weapons.

While there are many people who work with metal such as farriers, wheelwrights, and armorers, the blacksmith had a general knowledge of how to make and repair many things, from the most complex of weapons and armor to simple things like nails or lengths of chain.

Blacksmiths work by heating pieces of wrought iron or steel until the metal becomes soft enough for shaping with hand tools, such as a hammer, anvil and chisel. Heating generally takes place in a forge fueled by propane, natural gas, coal, charcoal, coke or oil.
