Blacksmith Beaver Bill Keeler Fire Recovery Fund
My father, Beaver Bill and his wife Becky Keeler have had a terrible fire in the blacksmith workshop. Thankfully everyone is safe. Please see photos below of the fire.
They operate a blacksmith shop that produces reproduction 17th and 18th century edge weapons, such as knives and tomahawks. Tragically, the forge/workshop that they work out of suffered a devastating fire on April 8, 2021 that destroyed almost everything. The losses include supplies, machinery and equipment, and orders that were in production. Insurance has declared a total loss, but the payout will only cover a portion of the damage, not to mention the cost of rebuilding.
Please see below for a links to their website with pictures of the work and a video of Beaver Bill creating a pipe tomahawk.

Dad has been doing this for over 40 years. The shop is based in Reily, OH. Their clients include museums and private collectors. Without a workshop, they will be unable to pursue their life’s work and produce these amazing pieces. Any donation will go directly to my father Bill Keeler and his wife Becky to help them rebuild and is greatly appreciated.
May kindness return to you in the beautiful way that it was given.
