From a childhood spent tinkering with things, a love of machining and metalwork at school and an Industrial Design degree to further those skills and hone design and visualisation techniques, I was all set up for a career making stuff with my hands. Then I somehow fell into graphics and spent a decade and a half sitting on my arse staring at a screen.Finally though, the itching desire to make stuff took over and the blacksmithing hobby began to get out of control... Gate Foot Forge began selling real things to real people in 2019 and the rest, as they say, is history.
