Since 1975, Bob Menard has been providing New Englanders with his excellence, skill and craftsmanship. The Ball and Chain Forge was established in 1990 in Maine. In 2000, the shop moved to Portland, Maine, where it has become a fixture in the community. I began blacksmithing when I was a sophomore in high school.
If you are a unique and creative person, you want your home to reflect your tastes and personality. Sometimes, store-bought pieces just won't do the trick. When you need to showcase your style, wrought iron accent pieces are the best way to add stunning charm and classic looks to your home. Our custom forging and fabrication services will allow you to design that unique lighting fixture you've been imagining.
Our fabricated furniture will not wear away over time or fade due to weather conditions. If you want a memorable fixture in your park or outside your apartment building, our iron benches would be a great addition. We can create outdoor patio furniture, dining tables, occasion tables, park benches and much more.
If you haven't had luck at major department stores when it comes to unique and crafty pieces for your tabletops and decor, then maybe it's time to let our craftsmen make you something truly beautiful. We can craft lovely decorative metal worked items for your coffee tables, bookcases, and other areas of your home with ease.
From aluminum railings with accented features to cable deck rails that span the perimeter of your entire property, no project is too complex for our metal fabrication crew. Protective railings are a must for any property. We create custom railings for both residential and commercial customers in Portland, ME and the surrounding areas.

What a shop! So much equipment, meticulously placed in zones, and so clean. Had a great one on one tour with Bob. And as blacksmiths do, he passed on valuable insight to me and answered all my questions. The main reason for the trip to Maine was to get a firepot setup. Top notch quality as all the other, in progress, projects Bob showed me. Thanks Ball & Chain
