If you want something forged in metal then you really ought to be visiting a blacksmith. Nowadays, by using computers in conjunction of traditional techniques involving the heating of the metal until it glows red or orange, then hitting it using hammers or bending it the modern day blacksmith can create wonderful metal products such as gates, railings, utensils. Many blacksmiths now can create wrought pieces of arts and will add welding to the repertoire of skills they have to create items out of iron or steel (did you know that most blacksmiths nowadays substitute mild steel for making items that would have been made out of wrought iron because of the difficulty of obtaining wrought iron?).
So if you need something that will involve a blacksmith using his anvil and hammer, perhaps even a swage or a jig then checkout the Loughborough directory to blacksmiths and get that piece of bespoke ironwork crafted in the traditional manner, or blended with modern technology and your imagination to create a unique piece.
