Meet The Craftsman
My name is Nathan Barshinger. I started blacksmithing at 12 years old, and two years later I began welding. Both have turned into a growing passion.
I love the idea of making something from nothing using my own two hands. I take pride and great care in making every single piece of work. I specialize in making custom knives, blacksmithed
items, and plasma cut work. I look forward to helping you with your own custom crafted item.
