About Me

MY NAME IS Zachary Royer

Mishawaka, IN

FIRST OFF I’D LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO VISIT MY WEBSITE AND WELCOME YOU TO MY SHOP.

I’M WHAT I’D CALL A PART TIME BLACKSMITH AS AT THIS POINT I ONLY WORK AT IT SATURDAYS AND EVENINGS.

I’VE BEEN MAKING THINGS WITH METAL ONE WAY OR ANOTHER AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER.

IN 2014 I GOT SERIOUSLY INTERESTED IN FORGING AND MANIPULATING HOT STEEL. I STARTED OUT WITH A BRAKE DRUM FORGE AND A PIECE OF RAILROAD TRACK FOR AN ANVIL. I LATER FABRICATED A NICE COAL FORGE THAT I STILL USE OCCASIONALLY, BUT HAVE SWITCHED TO MOSTLY GAS, AND HAVE UPGRADED TO A 460 POUND REFFLINGHAUS ANVIL.

I GOT STARTED MAKING HAMMERS BECAUSE I NEEDED ONE AND DIDN’T WANT TO BUY ONE. I ENJOYED THE PROCESS AND AFTER I HAD MADE A FEW, I DECIDED TO OFFER THEM FOR SALE AND PEOPLE LIKED THEM. SINCE THEN I’VE SOLD AROUND 600 HAMMERS ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES AND A FEW IN OTHER COUNTRIES.

I ALSO STARTED MAKING THE TOOLS USED TO MAKE HAMMERS, AS WELL AS SOME TOMAHAWKS AND AXES. THE SMALLEST HAMMER I’VE MADE WAS LESS THAN A POUND AND THE LARGEST TO DATE IS 18 POUNDS.

TAKE A LOOK AROUND. IF YOU DON’T SEE QUITE WHAT YOU’RE LOOKING FOR, OR HAVE QUESTIONS, DON’T HESITATE TO CONTACT ME AT 1-574-370-7211.
