Some months ago, you made a really strong tieback for a big heavy curtain and some lovely shelf brackets with oak boards.
I am thrilled with them. My porch doubles as part of my workshop where I solder silver jewellery.
Photography not excellent but the all look great include the curtain poles you made some time ago.
Lovely work. Thank you.

Hi Richard,
Just to let you know the holdback has just arrived. I'm really thrilled with it. Beautifully made by a British craftsman; will look great and make the room lighter by holding back the curtain. What else could I want? Nothing! (Except getting it attached to the wall as quickly as possible.) Perfect. Thank you so much.
Best wishes,

Dear Richard
A little late, but better late than never.
A huge thank you for getting the poles ready and sent out here in january when you were so busy. They have now been installed and the clients are very happy with them as far as I know. I wasn't able to do the installation due to a back issue so I haven't seen them in place yet. Very disappointed, but I will go and look in the summer.
Thanks again and I hope that Brexit isn't going to cause any problems in our continuing business dealings
Best regards.

Hey,
Just wanted to drop you an email showing the pan rails finally installed! I've attached some photos.
Took a while due to various faffs with the splashback fitters.
I think they look brilliant, thank you.
And the depth of the brackets was just right for holding the pan lids.
Cheers!

Hi Richard
I have finally got around to sending you pics of the curved poles you made for us! Not great pics but you get the idea. We only used one bracket in the middle as you can see, others didn't really line up evenly with wobbly walls etc etc but customer was delighted and so was I. Are you full for Christmas? When are you back in the New Year?
Thanks again Tracy

Hi Richard, completed the fit out here with some interesting sign language directions to the Spanish builders ha ha. Everything arrived in perfect condition, the only things missing were one joining rod (i improvised with some drill bits and masking tape :-) ) and a single grub screw. But probably the grub screw fell out and was chucked with the bubble wrap. I am SOOO impressed with your work, it has been a dream to fit these beautiful poles. Here's a pic of the big bay pole, it went up an absolute treat. I now know the spanish for spirit level, drill bit and plenty more lol.

Dear Richard,
Hope all is well with you at the forge,
At long last the handrail has been installed, after a long running dispute with our builder (but I won't bore you with that!). I have attached a couple of images to let you see it in situ.
Thank you for all of your efforts, it looks great and certainly makes descending the stairs a much safer experience!
Kind regards and Happy Easter,

Thank you so very much for making this simply beautiful bird feeder station. It will actually live on our patio so we get to watch the birds so the second photo is more accurate.

Bay window pole

Hi Richard,
I didn’t get round to fitting the rail till after the holidays, once we had taken down the Xmas tree from the bay window. Now I’ve got round to doing it it seems to fit spot on !! Wow - how did that happen ? I was expecting problems but it’s gone together very well - what do you think. Looks like one of us did a decent job ;-)
regards Steve

Four packages have now arrived. Haven't opened it all up yet but finials and holdbacks look lovely. Excellent workmanship and arrived well before due date. Thanks. We'll, no doubt, be in touch for other purchases.

I was looking for a black metal pole for our utility room, don't love the cheap plastic coated black ones, and looking at the department store ones that are barely any better, but SO expensive, thought, these must be getting close to the cost of a hand-forged rail. Googled. Found Made by the Forge, and the "express" (not made to measure) poles that I think are exceptional value. So happy with it. We just stood around holding the finials for a while because they're so tactile (and we're a bit strange).
I'll take photos when the pole is up (which will be after a bit of rewiring and decorating).

Dear Richard,

Hope you like the items ‘in use’!

Wow! These shelf brackets are just amazing! I've had various things made by forges around the country in the past but the quality of the craftsmanship of these brackets surpasses everything I have seen before. Perfection. I was very excited opening the box I can tell you! I'm now finishing the wooden part of the shelf ready to put it up in my log cabin and will enjoy the whole thing very much, thank you. By the way I also wanted to say that the packaging and especially the little book of ideas made for a very quality product too. Good for you!
Really really pleased!

And everyone I recommend you to has the same experience. I wanted to send a couple of (shoddy) photos of some of your pole in situ as they really make it. It was a tumble down farm house in southern Italy.
I’ll send over the professional photos when we get everything complete.

Dear Rebecca
These poor photos are to show you the fabulous brackets in place. If you'd like or find useful better photos, let me know and I'll try. Hurray for you and the team! And a question: do you make stair rods????

Dear Rebecca
Attached is a photo of the fitted pole. We wanted to test out one first to ensure it was what we were looking for and we now have another 7 downstairs windows to finish in this style. We haven't yet decided on the tie backs/window furniture which we will do when all the poles / curtains are completed.
We like the way the straightness of the pole and the cannon ball finials emphasise the curvature of the rather old ceiling!
Kind regards

Hi Rebecca
You'll be pleased to hear we got there in the end! Not a great picture, but it does look lovely. This is an excellent solution to the bay window problem for those wanting to avoid passing brackets and despite the hiccups we're really glad that with your help we managed to copy the one downstairs. Thanks so much to you and Richard and I'll let you know when I've spoken to the curtain factory.
All best
Isabel

Hi
We received our kitchen rack last week and are delighted with it. The quality is first class and it was very well packed.
We are in the process of renovating our 200 year old cottage and will definitely be purchasing more ironwork from you when we are ready.
Kind regards

Dear Richard
Just to let you know the curtain rails arrived this morning, everything was well packaged and all is present as expected.
This is our 3rd order as we are working our way around the house replacing the previous assorted curtain rails.
The curtain rails are solid and simple in appearance with the finials providing variety in each of the different rooms.
I am sure we will purchase further rails for the remainder of the rooms.
Regards
Les

Dear Rebecca,
Holdbacks now fitted; they look great, a couple of pictures for you.

I also sent the photos to my friend and she said the same thing, that it look great against the checkered tiles. I do feel proud, can't wait to show it off when people visit!
It's nice also to buy something that was made in Britain and also, being hand forged, helps to keep history alive.

Dear Mr Fishenden,
Thank you for your email.
We received the items this morning and, as usual, are very happy with them.
Thank you for your kind attention,

Dear Richard,
The tiebacks arrived safely, we are delighted with them, so beautifully crafted and consistent in style!
Just one little point to note, we only had 7 screws in the little sealed pack – no problem, my husband will add one.

October 2017

Hi Richard,
I have received my ironwork. The poles are not going to be put up for about 10 days and so I am not going to unwrap the delivery, and hence check it, until then. They are so well wrapped I feel this is the best way to store them until we are ready to put them in place. I hope this is ok.
With thanks,
Linda

Hi Richard,
J ust to let you know that I have received my ironwork. The parcel actually arrived on Friday (so very prompt) and I picked it up yesterday (Monday) from the post office (delivery office).
Many thanks

HI there
We ordered several curtain poles etc last year and are delighted with them. Just beautiful. We would like order an additional pair of identical button holdbacks, matt black please and 16 more curtain rings, matt black, to match those we already have on order below.
Many thanks
Michelle Michelle Pearce

October 2017

Thank you Rebecca.
By the way, I have already bought and put up my curtain pole (in case you were wondering why I had ordered rings only). I just like to have lots of curtain rings as well as a few spares.
I am delighted with my curtain pole and very proud of having put up all 4 metres worth by myself (well mostly anyway -- I did have a little support from my partner).
Perhaps you could pass on my comments to Richard?
Kind regards
Barbara

It's great!
My fitter commented that it is great quality and really well made. I have passed your website onto my curtain maker as she will also recommend.
Many thanks

Hi Richard,
Confirm receipt of the poles today & am very pleased with both the look & construction. Really appreciate your getting these to us before we have to catch the ferry back to Ireland. Am sure they are going to look really good in our home so thanks for supplying such a well made product.
Kind Regards

Hello again
I'm really pleased with the pan rails and towel rail I've received from you! Do you do shelf brackets? I would like a small shelf in the kitchen, but don't want to spoil the look of things by getting horrid shelf brackets!
Many thanks
Gill

Hi Richard,
Thank you so much for the response. I am very happy that you have a small team and the personal touch is one of the primary reasons I wanted to work with your company. For sure I could have been the one that didn't understand the measurement instructions correctly. I definitely have no complaints and I'm very happy to work with you. I read through the description again and it was definitely my mistake to measure from the bottom of the hook because you clearly state that it should be from the top of the pole. Just a small suggestion, but it might be helpful to have some simple diagrams for things like how to measure things like this so that those of us who are more visual don't make this sort of mistake.
Thanks again, I will post these two brackets back to you so hopefully they can be repurposed.
