Architectural Blacksmith · San Francisco, CA

Jefferson Mack

Jefferson Mack is a self-taught architectural blacksmith in San Francisco with a fifty-year career. Recorded in his workshop, this episode traces the path from a childhood Eric Sloane book to scrap-yard forges, rock 'n' roll lighting work, and construction — and into the work he calls "antiques from the future." He talks through the Restoration Hardware spread, the demonstration nights, pricing handmade work, and the slow art of selling a craft most people don't realize they need.
