Typical day at the Forge… metal

06/13/2026

We flew to a cattle ranch to cook dinner and came home thinking about it more than we expected to.

Field Journal No. 1: a few days in Grass Valley with the Richards Regenerative family, a fifth-generation ranch raising beef the hard, honest way since 1941. We came to sear steaks over fire. We stayed for the hogs tilling the soil, the cattle rotating through the grass, and a campfire “Hotel California” that nobody asked for (yes, there were bongos).

Regenerative beef, hand-forged cookware, good people. One hell of a life.

Full film and Dan’s essay on metal, land, and why the hard work is the point → link in bio.

We got a chance to hang out with tons of interesting people at the epicenter of slow food and regenerative farming movement, the Terra Madre Americas Event. Plus we got a pretty cool couple of flights out of it! More to come as we visit some of the people we met in the near future.

From the Blacksmith’s Journal – Forging a Legacy: Carrying the Torch of Santa Barbara’s Blacksmithing Tradition

“For over a decade, Santa Barbara Forge has been shaping raw steel into enduring works of art, blending traditional blacksmithing with modern innovation. But our story doesn’t start with us—it’s a continuation of a legacy that stretches back over a century. When we first stepped into the historic Craviotto Bros. steel shop, we weren’t just taking over a space; we were inheriting a craft, a history, and a responsibility to carry the torch forward.”

What could be more festive than 12-foot-tall rolling barn doors? This local couple transformed their farm into a charming event venue that radiates warmth and hospitality while preserving its historic character. Sometimes, dramatically scaling a simple idea up or down is the key to creating a true ‘wow’ factor in a space.

Check out a recent creation of ours: a beautiful bronze rail to complement a breathtaking Santa Barbara view. This hot tub rail began as a rough concept drawing by a NYC design firm. We worked closely with them to help strike the perfect balance between beauty and strength; this is the result. What do you think?
