Mike McGuinn
Barn Door Hinges
 December
21, 2003.Mike McGuinn (right) and his Father, Robert, completed the installation of the hand forged iron hinges for The Little House Barn. Mike is a true artisan. He owns Lamberton Works in Fredonia, NY. Mike created four pairs of hinges for the front and side doors of the barn. A year earlier, a wind storm twisted the original hinges. The barn doors were falling off the twisted hinges. For a year Lana searched for a person to restore the hinges or create new hinges that would mirror the architecture of The Little House. In December, 2003, Lana learned about a man who still performs the art of blacksmithing and hand forges iron into pieces of art work. This man was Mike McGuinn. Mike's work is extraordinary. On March 6, 2004, Mike arrived at The Little House with a beautiful piece of art work he created from the old damaged hinge. I will include a photo of this treasure shortly.
