A hand-forged railing is a unique statement to any dwelling. Capture the classic look of a textured wrought iron railing or incorporate more modern materials and designs. At Van's Iron Works, I forge custom wrought iron railings for a variety of needs, from stair and loft railings to outdoor balcony and porch railings. Reach out to discuss your project ideas.

Wrought iron can be forged with clean lines or textured finishes. We can blend the best of both worlds to build something original that aligns with your interior design. We can also incorporate different materials, like hardwoods.

About the Blacksmith
Hi, I am Pete VanDyken, the owner and blacksmith behind Van’s Iron Works. Thank you for visiting my website! Van’s Iron Works started in Kalamazoo, Michigan by my great-grandfather who immigrated from the Netherlands in 1911. I inherited some of his tools while I was in my teens and developed a passion for the art of blacksmithing, a passion I’m still cultivating today.
With the heat of the forge, iron can be shaped between the hammer and anvil in ways that cannot be achieved any other way. While closely matching pieces can be made by hand forging, no two will be exactly the same, creating unique one-of-a-kind projects. The possibilities are almost endless!
I’m looking forward to working with you to make your ideas become a reality!
