Jamie Tyree is a Limestone, Tennessee native that has been operating his own blacksmith shop for over 30 years. He specializes in house hardware for historic homes and also enjoys forging utensils for hearth cooking enthusiasts. The name Clinkerman came about when his Etsy Store began in 2013. You see, Clinker is a name for the resulting residue from burned coal - Jamie's preferred consumable in his forge fire!
