| Artisan Bio | I began blacksmithing in 1995 under the supervision of Frank, John and Hershel House; as well as Cousin Willie. I have attended the NMLRA classes, and have studied under Hershel, John and Frank Houses' instruction for 4 to 5 years of my tenure. I enjoy blacksmithing at my home in Gainesboro, Tennessee where I also teach the art of knife making and blacksmithing. I do custom orders for blacksmithing and knives.
