DAVID FLYNN AND JON MOLDEN

ARTIST BLACKSMITHS

"Promise less - Deliver more"

Diablo Forge was founded in 1998.  Our focus is on hand forged ironwork, emphasizing function, artistry and craftsmanship.  We love to take on a challenge.  No job is too big or small.  We enjoy collaborative design and at the same time relish in the solitude of piece work. The end result must be of the highest quality. All of the designs are hand forged in our studio. No forging application is above us.  “FRIENDLY TO THE TRADE”  

David began forging iron in 1984 while attending the University of Arizona. It was there that he received his M.F.A. in sculpture. Drawn to the plastic nature of the hot metal; forging became his passion. Over the years he has worked with several master blacksmiths and gained considerable knowledge of traditional and contemporary blacksmithing techniques.  His strict art background is vital to conveying the complex designs which need to be seen and understood by potential clients.  You can be confident you’ll get what you’re expecting with us.

I have come from a background of concrete finishing and auto restoration/repair.  My motivation is to stay busy and be creative. The unforgiving nature of concrete has given me a strong work ethic. My motto is “Promise less – Deliver more”.  Time spent in the auto body field gives me a knowledge of paint finishes an eye for detail and an understanding of how metal moves.  This a family owned and operated business.  David’s wife is my sister.

Thank you for giving us a look.  We look forward to hearing from you.
