Greg Abel took over the Moreton Forge in 2000 continuing the tradition of blacksmithing on the site which has been in existence for 150 years. Greg uses traditional hot forging techniques to make a wide range of items including gates, railings, fire grates, fire sets, curtain poles, garden ornaments, light fixings, restoration work, candlesticks, candelabra, house signs, all types of brackets for inside and out.
The offers a complete service from design through construction to fixing. A wide range of styles are available covering traditional wrought iron scroll work to more contemporary designs. I look forward to challenges so if you have an idea I will help you to realise it.

I had a blacksmithing day with Greg at Moreton Forge and it was amazing. I can happily say that it the best fun yet challenging experiences I've had in my life.
I had no prior experience and got to make multiple items and learn a variety of techniques. I really got a feel that there is a balance between strength, finesse and problem solving that makes this a unique skill.
His teaching style was a lovely combination of observe and then have a go. This set the stage for ongoing feedback from Greg as I produced and honed my items.
Ultimately, the man is a font of knowledge and kind. It was a fun
