ABOUT US
 The
Wasco Blacksmith shop was established over 100 years
ago. Located along Route 64 in the cornfields of
northern Illinois serving farmers and residents in the region, it has been a
part of Illinois' wrought iron history just as long. As
surrounding towns grew, so did the business of the Wasco Blacksmith.
Many may remember when Mel Peterson needed help
in the mid 80's and hired Ted Frerichs to assist with the iron works
projects in the blacksmith shop. Ted had worked with metal and metal forming machinery for some years for companies in
the area. He was hired on the spot.
Ted proved to
be the best welder ever envisioned for
the blacksmith shop and Mel thought it was a good thing he
had hired him. Soon, Mel handed the Master Welder's Apron of Wasco Blacksmith
to Ted, as it had been passed to him years before, and retired.

Ted is now the
current Wasco Blacksmith owner and has been in custom metal welding
and repair for over 25 years. He is an Experienced Certified
Welder and can help with all your welding needs.
In November
2010, the Wasco Blacksmith shop was moved. You can find
Ted and his crew south of Route 38, east of Route 47 and
just north of the railroad tracks near downtown Elburn,
Illinois.

Wasco Blacksmith, is the
metal welder you want on the job.
The Wasco Blacksmith excels in custom wrought iron entry gates
and fence panels for your secure residential estate
property, not to mention, custom wrought iron balcony railings,

and design professionals, general contractors and landscapers,
