| Authentic Hand Hammered Aluminum Gift Ware |
At Cornerstone Forge I make over 650 different items and each
piece is 100% handmade without the use of any power
machinery. They are all made one at a time just as they were
back in the 1930's when the hammered aluminum industry
began. Today there are only a few aluminum artisans left and
even fewer who make authentic 100% hand hammered items as
I do with only sheet aluminum, hand powered hammers, hand
clamps and hand engraved steel dies. Each piece is then hand
polished to a bright clean finish.
Aluminum does not tarnish and never needs polishing. It is
food safe and can be used to serve any food. You simply hand
wash in warm soapy water, avoid sharp objects and it will last for
generations. It makes a unique and thoughtful hand made gift.

Hand Hammered From Edge to Edge: Guaranteed
Each piece of Cornerstone Forge aluminum gift ware is forged
entirely by hand using sheet aluminum, hand tools and
vintage dies engraved by various masters of the craft. These
vintage dies are also hand engraved in steel and some date
back into the 1930's. Each piece I make is marked with the
Cornerstone Forge stamp along with a stamp indicating the
die engraver and artist. Those pieces made with dies
engraved by Henry Mansfeld are marked "Hand Wrought
Mansfeld by Dennis" ; those made with dies from L. Gene
Stewart are marked "Hand Wrought Stewart by Dennis" ;
those made with dies engraved by Steve Adams are marked
"Hand Wrought SA by Dennis" and those pieces made with
my own designs are marked simply "Hand Wrought by
Dennis". For more information go to the "Artisan Info" link.
My intent is to preserve their die engravings and to keep their
artwork alive and share it with a new generation of lovers of
hand hammered aluminum gift ware. Each piece is made with
pride and dedication to my art. Like snowflakes, no two pieces
are identical.

ALUMIFACT:
ALUMINUM IS THE 10TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY GIFT
In 1946, Jack Orenstein of the Everlast Metal Products company
successfully campaigned for aluminum to replace tin as the 10th
wedding anniversary emblem and to this day is the material to
give as a 10th anniversary item. Hand hammered aluminum
makes the perfect wedding gift as well as the appropriate gift for
a tenth wedding anniversary. Everlast was at one time the
largest producer of forged aluminum giftware in the world.
