denlong Posted September 24, 2009 Report Posted September 24, 2009 I'm interested in commissioning a Tosogu set. I've found someone at Tagane Arts .. although he is re-doing the website and I can't find his name He learned from Ford Hallum but Ford doesn't have any sword parts on his site Has anyone done business with these guys? Any other recommendations? Thank You Dennis Long Quote
Brian Posted September 24, 2009 Report Posted September 24, 2009 You will find them all on this page: http://www.followingtheironbrush.org/index.php Ford's forum, with all the info you could want. If they do it, they are there. Regards, Brian Quote
Lee Bray Posted September 25, 2009 Report Posted September 25, 2009 Patrick Hastings is the guy who owns Tagane Arts. A finer fellow you will not find. He's a member and moderator at Ford's site which Brian linked to, so should be contactable there. Quote
bridgeofdreams Posted September 25, 2009 Report Posted September 25, 2009 I had the opportunity to meet Patrick and get a good close look - loupe close - at his work 3 or 4 years ago at the SF Token Kai. His work impressed me, and quite a few collectors who I consider more experienced and knowledgeable than myself. I can only assume it has improved in the interim, as he seemed to be dedicated to his craft. As has been said, I also found him to be a person of character and integrity.

Ted Tenold Posted September 25, 2009 Report Posted September 25, 2009 I've known Patrick personally for quite a few years now. He's a top notch guy, an excellent craftsman, and a good friend. He constantly strives for better and better work. I recommend him highly. Here's a set of fuchi kashira he made for me, and a tsuba he made a couple years ago. Quote
