An absolute essential tool for the winter season is the chestnut roasting pan and fork.
The wildly bearded Steve Davies is exactly the kind of man you would expect to hand forge steel fireplace tools. Ahead of his time, Davies' concern about his carbon footprint led him to sell his van and work out of a horse-drawn cart during the 1980s. He currently lives in Buckinghamshire with his wife, hens, and rabbits where he forges the steel tools.
