While living in Tucson, Arizona, I studied knife making, blacksmithing and applied metallurgy, which inspired me to co-found Desert Metal Craft, the only school in the American Southwest dedicated to teaching both the art and science of metalworking.

Forja Gato Diabo was founded in 2021 in the bucolic paradise that is central Portugal. My blacksmithing work includes axes, knives and kitchen tools, such as herb choppers and bottle openers, as well as candelabras, barbecue tool sets and fire pokers, and decorative hooks and racks upon which to hang them all. In addition to forge, anvil and hammer, I also use local wood to build mixed wood-metal furniture, and a welding rig and plasma cutter to make a range of sculptures.
