Bill Flemming and Iron Raven Metalwork also made a number of pieces for the film. He kindly provided us with some pictures of their work. Here’s what he had to say about the experience of working on Outlander:

The entire experience was a pleasure and everyone in the art department and the set crew treated me very well. The art department used me as a consultant with regards to what was possible and the design of some articles , many changes were made as a result for both practical and historic reasons. Having said that some items were much larger and abundant than history would allow !

While doing movies can be a lot of fun there can be times when the work load is overwhelming and I need help, In this case I used Jerry Levy of Practical Blacksmithing to fabricate the hinges on the main gates and the barbecue spits and some incidentals working from his own shop and on site, Kyle Woods helped out in my shop by making blades, pokers and asssisting me with larger Items. Kyle, Jerry and myself are all members of the Maritime Blacksmiths Association.

Ian Greig [set decorator] and I both attended the same art class in high school and attended the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design together and he uses me when he needs some custom metal work for one of his projects.
