Located in Newmarket, New Hampshire, Elements of Steel has specialized in custom blacksmithing for over thirty years. Previous projects include hinges, chandeliers, railings, door latches, drawer pulls, dragons, pot racks, doors, fireplace tools, and decorative pieces. Steel is the primary metal of choice for most projects.

Elements of Steel frequently works with customers to design creative pieces of colonial style art, reproductions, repairs of antiques, and new-but-old-looking items.

Russell Pope started Elements of Steel in 1975. The shop began in downtown Newmarket and relocated to 32 North Main Street a few years later. Perfecting his skill for over 30 years, Russell remains one of a few full-time blacksmiths in the United States.
