Jerry Wallin – Wood Working Indiana Artisan

A documentary profile of Jerry Wallin, a master blacksmith and woodworker who crafts historically accurate Windsor chairs using traditional period tools, produced for the Indiana Artisans program.

PumaPro captured Jerry's remarkable dual craft, from operating Wallin Forge in a historic Vevay home to hand-crafting Windsor chairs from poplar, hickory, oak, and hard maple using tools he made himself. The piece showcases his dedication to historical accuracy, including a custom-mixed dark green paint that replicates a 200-year-old patina, and his hope that the Indiana Artisans program will help carry his work to a wider audience.
