About Dirty Byrd Forge and Leather

After being laid off of my job of 11 years, while job hunting, I discovered You Tube and Forged in Fire at the same time. This convergence of events led to the creation of Dirty Byrd Forge. I have been hammering on hot steel ever since and love it. After getting many requests for leather sheaths, I started doing leatherwork and found  another pursuit that I really enjoy.  So, now we are Dirty Byrd Forge and Leather.

My Dad was a mailman and we used to stay in touch via CB radios (long before cell phones). His "handle " was Pony Express and I was Dirty Byrd, thus the name Dirty Byrd Forge. My friends and family have encouraged me to share my work with you and I am happy and grateful to do so. Please look around and let me hear from you. I hope you enjoy the site and discover something that you just can't live without. Thanks for visiting.
