We are a small, family-run business set near the idyllic Sherwood Forest England. Our village straddles the River Trent and boasts a blacksmithing tradition going back centuries; we aim to live up to the standards of the past.
And if you’re wondering—yes, I built this site too. Granted, it doesn’t have the fine polish of a seasoned developer, but it’s sturdy and doesn’t include a single line of bootstrapped code. Nothing leaks. We haven’t taken the easier route of using ready-made frameworks in exchange for their owners tracking you across the internet. Your privacy is valuable, and we’re not interested in helping others steal it. On that note: no data about you is saved here. We’re not interested in your browsing history or your bank details— that’s all handled securely by Stripe. It’s as though you’ve wandered into a Victorian smith’s shop, bay windows warm and inviting. Even this website is self-hosted. Why pay someone to host your site and have access to all your data, when you can run it on your own computer for a fraction of the price?
Questions? We’ll reply to every message, and we’re happy to. However, if you want to contact us, you’ll need to register and then email us. It’s a line of defense against the bots—yes, a little annoying, but not everyone in the world is like you and me.
