…has been forging ironwork since 1984.  He was chosen for Early American Life Magazine’s “Directory of Traditional Craftsmen” in 1995, 1997, 2005 and 2007.  He demonstrated several years at the Cuyahoga Valley Folk Festival in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Kim uses only traditional tools and techniques to make period lighting and hearth tools of iron for the discerning re-enactor and renovator.
