Desota, Missouri
Bob has spent 23 years of his life as a carpenter and has always enjoyed woodworking and furniture making. Around 1992 he took on the additional interest of blacksmithing - first as a hobby, then a career when he opened a shop in 1995 offering clients work from colonial to contemporary. Bob has studied with Clay Spencer, Doug Hendrickson, Jerry Darnell, Tom Clark, Uri Hofi, Joe Miller, and other renowned smiths. He has demonstrated at local clubs and hammer-ins and also is instructing several classes at John C. Campbell Folk School.
Bob focused his demonstration on hinges, latches, and traditional hardware that's found on hand crafted trunks and chests.
