The Forge at Black Dragon IGR

Welcome to the Forge at Black Dragon IGR

Every piece that leaves our shop is born of fire, iron, and hands that remember old rhythms. The Coal-fire forge is fanned by a Champion Forge & Blower Co hand cranked blower—built in 1910—which breaths life into the forge. Red-hot metal is shaped by hand upon a 1828 Vulcan 120‑lb anvil, each strike guided by skill and intent. Welds are made with the coal fired forge without modern electricity; every joint is accomplished without torch or plug, forged together the way smiths did for centuries. Holes are bored by a hand-cranked 1910 post drill—each twist and feed measured and deliberate.

Every mark you see was made with tools forged and shaped by our Founder and Head Smith, Chris Opresko. His tools carry the memory of the shop, and that memory lives in the texture, taper, and finish of every blade, bracket, hook and more.

Step close and listen: the crack of hammer on anvil, the sigh of the bellows, the steady grind of vintage machinery. This is craftsmanship that breathes heat and history. This is Black Dragon Iron & Glass Reimagined Blacksmith Shop.
