Welcome to the Customized Decorative Iron Works home page. We have a number of links below that will give basic information of the type of work we do. All work is hand made, and custom crafted to your specifications. We specialize in handrails, both indoors and out, as well as all manner of ironwork you can't buy off the shelf. We also install, and would be happy to supply you with a quote. We are currently adding 100 K links to many of the 15 K thumbnail pictures for clarity. We are also updating our data base with short video clips which show some of the techniques used at the forge or in the foundry. We have some high bandwidth video presentation at www.foundrysmith.com

Please use the "back" button on your browswer to navigate this page. At the moment, there are four pages nested under the HANDRAIL link, and two pages under MISCELLANY
