Behind the Scenes at Charleston Forge
Philip Holman - Monday, March 07, 2011
We've found that people who visit Charleston Forge love it when we take them around our workshop and show them how our furniture is made. From forging the steel frame parts, to welding, to cleaning up, to painting the finished pieces -- it's a fascinating process. Visitors get to watch skilled artisans use very basic elements -- steel and fire -- to make great furniture.
So we are inviting you to come visit us here in the beautiful High Country and see for yourself what goes into making Charleston Forge furniture. Tours are Tuesdays between 9 a.m.and 3 p.m. and you must call ahead to make a reservation. Below left is an image of our powder coating system in operation, below right is one of our welders at work on a baker's rack. For more images from our workshop floor check out our Workshop page on the website. If you're interested in scheduling a tour give us a call at 828.264.0100. We look forward to seeing you.

Behind the Scenes at Charleston Forge

We thought we'd share some more pictures from our North Carolina workshop. Top left, hand-forging tapered legs for a prototype table. Top right, powdercoating (painting) a steel chair frame. Bottom right, the welding of a custom console being finished up. Bottom left, a blacksmith's sketch and his tools sitting by his workspace. Just more evidence that at Charleston Forge, it's always American Made.
