BLACKSMITH SHOP The Blacksmith Shop located in the Victorian Village of Ferndale is a 7000 square foot showroom gallery that features master blacksmithing from around the world, including production of owner Joe Coaches very own souvenir line of Redwood Trees. “Blacksmiths are the reason we are not in the trees still,” a grinning Coaches explains. “Blacksmiths are the tool makers.” “We make things that you can’t do with your hands or your feet,” he said.
HASTA BE PASTA Delicious, authentic Italian gourmet pasta meals.
Coaches began blacksmithing thirty-six years ago in the barn of another local Ferndale artist, Jack Mays. “We lit a fire and started making mistakes.” Featured in Forbes magazine a couple years ago and the subject of a recent HSU student film documentary, those mistakes in alchemy have transformed themselves into works of art and are now paying off.
