This small, but busy building is the site of a new blacksmithy, only a dozen years old. It is hard to break into such things since most blacksmiths have apprentices and pass their business on from one master to the next. But Jax had a bit of a falling out with his master when he was in Cole and came to Bloodhelm to start his own business.
Though he talks little about it, his master was using him to do all the expensive work, but giving him none of the credit. Jax has to work hard to get his customers, but after 12 years of good, fine quality work he is gaining momentum. He has one apprentice, now, and has orders that keep him busy most of the time. He is hassled occasionally by other blacksmiths in the area who he is taking business from, but for the most part he is left alone.
Jax can craft weapons, armor, horseshoes, plows, pretty much anything and do so very well. His prices are a little lower as he tries to build a customer base and he is always willing to redo something if a person finds it unacceptable.
Jax is a 30 year old human, married with a baby on the way. He speaks softly, but is a huge man at six and half feet and shoulders to match.
