The master blacksmith Mauro García de Pablos carries out locksmithing works and others using forged iron. He carries them out by hand, in an artisanal way, using traditional techniques. 

He comes from a family of blacksmiths dedicated to the manufacture of axes and tools. 

The main works… he carries out are: grilles, balconies, handrails, doors, parapets for wells, lamps, wall lamps, door knockers, andirons and lanterns. All of these elements are manufactured by hand without the use of industrial-made pieces.

The tools he uses are: the traditional forge, a drop hammer dating over 100 years back, double horned anvils, pincers, hammers, mezzalunas, slitting tools, rompederas, files, punches, etc., as well as other old manual tools inherited from other blacksmiths from Segovia. 

He masters several techniques such as hammer forging, filling pieces, riveting unions, forge welding of the irons, collaring, welding with brass using the forge, embossment and chiselling of the metals, etc. The finishing coats consist of a patina made of natural oxide with wax for the interiors and paint and varnishes for the exteriors.  

His works cover different styles: Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, etc. Many follow the popular style from Segovia, being an example the so-called balconies de lazo segoviano. He has special preference for the Renaissance style, since it is in this style where the work with iron can be most appreciated: both in its forging and embossment, its chiselling, filing, and also by using other types of metals, etc. 

In his workshop he continues to keep a sharp eye on how to turn into useful tools for the craft those of other artisans, such as pointers, picks, chisels, axes, mattocks, adzes, etc.
