DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK

Ricardo Mediavilla is a blacksmith. He carries out his works in a carbon forge, in a completely manual way, without making use of modern machinery.

He uses the traditional direct extruding forging technique combined with the use of spring hammers and manual tools (hammers, tajadores, slitting hammers, punches…). 

His activity has always been linked to the industrial sector and the field of construction. In the industrial sector, his work is focussed on the manufacture of pliers for forging. These are very specific tools whose elaboration requires of a specialist. In the field of construction, he has carried out wrought iron grilles for private and public clients. He has also carried out the restoration of forged elements and the retrieval of damaged pointers of compressor hammers.
