DON SHELTON’S DESIRE TO MANIPULATE IRON CAME TO FRUITION WHEN HE BECAME A FULL TIME ARTIST BLACKSMITH AND STARTED HIS COMPANY, ‘A TOUCH OF THE PAST’, IN NORTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA.  AT HIS FORGE HE CREATES ORIGINAL HANDMADE ITEMS FROM STEEL FORMING TEXTURES, SHAPE, AND VARIOUS JOINERIES USING TRADITIONAL AS WELL AS MODERN TECHNIQUES AND TOOLS.   ALTHOUGH HE SPECIALIZES IN CUSTOM FORGED IRON BASED FURNITURE SUCH AS BENCHES, STOOLS, AND TABLES WITH BEAUTIFUL SLAB WOOD TOPS, HE WILL MAKE ANYTHING YOU WOULD LIKE.  AS LONG AS HE IS MANIPULATING METAL HE IS IN HIS ELEMENT.

SO COME IN, LOOK AROUND AND SEE IF YOU WOULD LIKE AN EXISTING DESIGN OR SOMETHING ONE OF A KIND AND DESIGNED FROM YOUR IDEAS.
