Hi my name is John I am the founder, owner, and backsmith at JSR Ironworks. I first started my metal working career in high school, working with copper, brass, silver, and NuGold. I got my initial blacksmith training in Cincinnati Ohio from Christopher Daniels at Blue Hell Studio (I highly recommend checking him out if you are near the area). I then started working on my own and started building my own brand, JSR Ironworks. 

​

My goal with each and every piece I create is to make functional art. I want to create things people can use in their everyday life. 

​

In addition to steel I also work with wood, copper, brass, and aluminum.
