Deep Creek Ironworks is a specialized metal fabrication and blacksmithing shop located in Fortine, Montana, in the northwest corner of the state.
Unlike larger industrial shops, this operation is known for its custom, hand-crafted metalwork that caters to the high-end residential and ranch properties found in the Tobacco Valley and surrounding areas like Whitefish and Bigfork.
Primary Focus & Services
Artistic Blacksmithing: Using traditional forge techniques to create one-of-a-kind architectural elements.
Custom Home Accents: They specialize in high-detail interior work, including custom fireplace doors, range hoods, and hand-forged hardware (handles, hinges, and latches).
Exterior Features: Fabrication of decorative gates, railings, and signage that often incorporate natural Montana motifs (wildlife, mountains, and pine trees).
Historical Restoration: Occasionally involved in the restoration or replication of vintage ironwork for historic Montana properties.
The "Fortine" Aesthetic
Because Fortine is situated near the Kootenai National Forest, the work coming out of this shop often leans into a rugged, "Mountain Modern" or "Old West" style, combining heavy-duty durability with refined artistic finishes.
