Formed and forged from hand and heart, our unique gardening and homesteading tools are created to instill a sense of history, an appreciation for beauty and a desire to get things done.

We use as much reclaimed steel and repurposed materials in our tools as possible. Primarily to reduce our impact on the world and to demonstrate the value in the old and worn.

Established in 2017, we are a proud Canadian family business operating out of southern British Columbia.


A few of our tools


Hand forged. One by one. In Canada.


All of our items are hand forged by the husband and wife blacksmithing duo, Tim and Lorinda. We use traditional techniques and equipment: the hammer and anvil, the forge and tongs.


Our ironwork is defined by:

  • Durability: built to last generations
  • Nostalgia: hand made using a process that’s 4,000 years old
  • Sustainability: made from reclaimed and recycled steel
  • Beauty: whether in the garden or on the farm, people WANT to use these tools
  • Pride of ownership: satisfaction in knowing that your purchase was a wise investment
  • All of our products are covered by a limited lifetime warranty

Reflections

The past couple of years have certainly been a struggle as we made a major transition moving to a new province, searching for a suitable (and affordable) property to set up our homestead and shop, coping with the challenges that were brought forward by the pandemic, and trying to maintain our sanity in a world …

About Us

Reforged Ironworks is Tim and Lorinda Peel-Wickstrom, blacksmiths and homesteaders raising their family in Creston Valley, BC, Canada. The two originally met at a permaculture design program in 2013, and it was there that the seed for what became Reforged Ironworks was planted.

The intent with our work comes from the inherent ability of blacksmiths to give old steel new life and a desire for effective hand tools that remind us of slower and quieter times. Seeing a need for high quality gardening tools made with minimal impact, Tim taught himself the blacksmith trade with guidance from more experienced ‘smiths. In time, as the business grew, Lorinda stepped into the forge to also learn the blacksmith trade. Her backgrounds in gardening, promotion and artistry are invaluable.

We seek a path to a slower and more intentional way of living.

Custom Work

Have an idea for a project or tool that you’d like to see come to life? We are happy to discuss your idea to see if we’re a fit. Our process begins with either a email or phone call to hash out the idea, then we create a preliminary design and come back to you for review and tweaks. If all looks good, and it’s necessary for the success of the project, we develop a more detailed design and come back one more time to get your ok. At that point, we get to work and your idea becomes reality.

We can be reached at info@reforgedironworks.com and at 250-866-5119 for custom work orders or general inquiries.
