Blackhawk Metal Works was established in July 2002.   Dave and Shirley Packebush are the owners and  operators of this unique enterprise.  Our mission is quality metal art and we also specialize in  custom designs to create something special for you. Are you looking for the unique or unusual gift? Note that  our art is cut out of thicker metal (10 gauge)than most of  the other art on the market (16 or 18 gauge). This makes  our art sturdier and longer lasting for indoor or outdoor  use.  In the recent years we have acquired the talent of making  bubblewands from recycled copper and brass. We have  also added pewter to the line-up of metal products we  currently offer
