About Us

The Crimson Forge started out as an idea to build and create something special and unique with skill and craftsmanship. There are many welders, fabricators, and steelworkers in the United States and we decided we wanted to start something that is organic and personal. We hope to pour that into all of our finished pieces as we take on challenging and intricate designs and share our passion for metal working.

- JC Hillis

JC has been welding since graduating from Universal Technical Institute with a certification from the welding program and found employment from small contractor jobs to industrial steel fabrication facilities. From building small projects like a custom front bumper for his CJ7 Jeep, to heavy fabrication and restoration like that of the 1940's steel caboose into a short-term rental, JC has always had the eye and vision for metalworking.
