Timeless Ironwork, Forged by Hand​
​Welcome to Modern Twist - traditional blacksmithing with a contemporary twist
​
​I'm Martin Wood, I craft hand-forged ironwork for homes and gardens using traditional tools and techniques to create unique, durable pieces.
​
​No mass production - just honest craftsmanship. Each item is individually crafted by me and built to last a lifetime.
​​​
Based in Chelmsford, Essex, I offer custom blacksmith commissions, metal fabrication and repairs locally, with smaller hand-forged pieces available to order from my online shop.
