Hand-forged Contemporary Work

Replicas of Historic Ironwork

Authentic reconstructions of antiquarian tools and equipment

using the original construction methods.

Elmer Roush has been studying metal skills from bygone eras from 10th Century Viking to 18th Century Colonnial America.

He has built up a unique repertoire of skills enabling him to recreate historically accurate hand-forged artifacts shown on this site: dividers, calipers, early locks, kitchen utensils and broilers, and a whole host of ’new old tools’ that can be used today - adzes, hammers, billhooks and froes to name a few.

Each of Elmer Roush’s tools is stamped with his E.Roush stamp.

Elmer also makes stainless steel hand tools and forged iron accessories for basket makers, shown on the basketry pages.
