Matteo, CL (Williamstown Forge)
My name is Carlton L. Matteo, and my wife (and business manager) of more than 48 years, Kathy, is pictured here with me. I've been blacksmithing for over forty years now, and I plan to keep doing it for many years more. I bought my first anvil from an 84 year old smith in Pennsylvania who was still working, so I plan to follow in his footsteps! I've been picking up tips and techniques from other smiths and learning from a lifetime of my own mistakes. I have a shop in our backyard, but there is no showroom or store front. There are several shows we do each year (when Covid-19 isn't rearing its ugly head), and our hope is to get back to them soon. If I can answer any questions for you, I'd be happy to do so. Just give me a call or 'shoot' me an email, as they say!
