Ironwork in Dun-sur-Auron

Four generations!

His great-grandfather, his grandfather, his father, and he, today, Clément Chabin, who, since 2013, has taken over carrying on this family tradition of ironwork. And, listening to his own son, still a child, it would be a safe bet that the tradition will continue again!
Before joining his father, Clément trained with the Compagnons in Muizon, in the Marne, then with the Métailiers Champenois, with whom he worked for the great hotels of Monaco, and then with Joël Orgiazzi, best worker in France, in Lyon.

 

The ancestral forge of Dun-sur-Auron

Today, back at the family forge, he puts into practice all the experience he has acquired, and invites you to discover his impressive technical mastery, and all the beauty of the lines that are born from his will, his artistic sense, and his expert hands.

Cet ouvrage décrit le travail du fer à la forge pour comprendre et pratiquer la ferronnerie. La première partie historique explique comment un savoir-faire ancestral et traditionnel est devenu un véritable métier d'art. Après une présentation des types de forge - fixes ou mobiles -, des matériaux, des combustibles et de l'outillage, le livre développe les principales techniques : soudure, trempe, étampage au marteau-pilon, recuit. Une série d'exercices d'assemblage enseigne comment réaliser divers objets, des clous aux crochets, en passant par les ciseaux et le forgeage des couteaux. Un chapitre est consacré aux méthodes décoratives des ferrures et des pentures, puis un autre aborde la fabrication des serrures et des verrous. En fin d'ouvrage, un carnet de croquis vous permettra de vous initier à la forge d'art.
