Abstract:
Jerry Darnell of Southern Pines is a colonial blacksmith of modern times. An ornamental blacksmith, Darnell makes mostly chandeliers, pot hangers, and fireplace sets. Although his shop is one of the best-equipped that he has seen, Darnell is always collecting new tools. When not in his shop, he teaches high school physics. Darnell's work can be purchased at Westmoore Pottery in Westmoore, and the County Bounty store in Jamestown.
