Scrap Works

Ryan Leis is a traditional master blacksmith who has forsaken power tools to pursue a higher calling.

Get scrappy with our hero, a traditional master blacksmith busy navigating the challenges of modern life, having forsaken power tools for a higher calling. While Ryan only works on bespoke objects, that hold special meaning to their owners, he must reconcile the mundane reality of supporting his family and business with upholding convictions of personal morality and purity of art. His rambunctious personality and warm smile offer a welcome break from the antithetical world of materialism, capitalist greed and vapid drama; even if you’re not into blacksmithing.
