  • Hardware Stores

    One stop shops for tools, materials, paint, adhesives, hardware, fasteners, etc etc. A good general supply store. Some specialize in different services, such as key cutting, glass cutting, screen repair, color matching, pipe cutting/threading, and more. Local shops tend to offer excellent customer service and are willing to do special orders if need be, but sometimes will not have specialty items on hand. For that, we suggest searching out a specialized vendor/store.

    Bell Forest - Figured and Exotic Woods

     

    Phone Toll-Free: (877) 770-9663

     

    Bell Forest Products was started in 2001 by Dennis Bell and his son Boone. Being an avid woodworker, Dennis was frustrated with the lack of locally available kiln-dried hardwoods. This was compounded by the fact that he lived in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula surrounded by forests and was unable to obtain lumber for his projects. Some of the world’s best Birdseye maple comes from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. In 2003, Bell Forest expanded from Dennis’ workshop into a vacant warehouse in downtown Ishpeming, MI. The business continued to grow and in 2005-2006 Bell Forest went through major changes. We put in a brand new sawmill and started dealing in exotic woods.

    Since 2006, Bell Forest has been one of the leading online wood suppliers. We have expanded our selection of figured, domestic, and exotic woods to over 100 species. Bell Forest offers thousands of hand-picked boards, stock sizes, and other products too numerous markets throughout the USA and around the world.

    Mud Tools - Michael Sherrill

    During my years of working in clay, making pots and art, I have often had ideas that required working outside of “normal” processes. I found that the available “clay tools” did not serve my ideas well. So, out of necessity I would make a tool, or modify an existing one to suit my needs. These new tools quickly became indispensable and were always the first thing to come out of my toolbox. Naturally, I would show these off at a workshop, and as a result, I found that people were interested in buying them!

    It didn’t take long to figure out that I couldn’t make a tool for each person that wanted one. I was going to need a little help, and that is how Mudtools was born. I started with the rib. I had already found a material that performed well and actually got better with use (it is self-polishing.) With the material in mind, I designed six shapes that I think cover a lot of what hand builders and throwers need from a rib. Each rib shape is available in four hardnesses from very soft to very firm. You choose the shape and hardness that suits your clay and your working style.

    It is my goal to offer you a tool that has a high-performance quality, is pleasing to the hand and eye, and that you find indispensable.

    Kayne & Sons Blacksmith Supply Depot

    Steve started Blacksmithing at the age of 8.  His Grandfather grabbed him by the ear and pulled him into the shop. Eight smiths worked for his grandfather, all from Europe, no two from the same country.  Not being able to communicate with each other and trying to uphold their nations honor caused them to work very productively.  Each one thought he was the best and knew the best way to do everything. They competed with each other and Steve learned from them all.  

     In 1954, Steve entered the Navy. Being a smith, they made him an electrician. After the Navy and College, he married and set up a shop for part-time smithing. Immediately he was swamped with work from antique dealers, collectors, etc., and the rest is history.

    His son David started at age 5 and now runs the business which has several forges, a 7000+ square foot shop and warehouse, and a gallery of their work. Steve's wife, Shirley & David's wife, Cathy, their children Jonathan and Eli run the office.  Dennis Hunter, employee, and blacksmith for 20 years, assists David in the shop.
