“By hammer and hand do all things stand.” With this philosophy, Joey Henry hand-makes some of the most beautiful and precise steel fenders you can dream of for your custom motorcycle.
In a shed in his village of Buckley near Seattle, he hammers them Rippled, Flat Beaded, with a Reverse Lip, etc, challenging the modern world of automation with exceptional hand manufacturing skills. Cooper Smithing Co.
Worthy.
Thank you for bringing us this.

Where was this guy when I was young and building motorcycles! I think I feel the need to do one more.

Great article! Love the fenders!
Excellent work.
Great Video! It’s like going back in time when “things” were crafted by hand by people who were motivated by their work and their passion. This guys an artisan.
Gonna buy one and hang it on the wall!
Awesome work. Metal art! Thanks Cyril for featuring this fenders source.
Cool!…love the Hendrix background score too 🙂
way cool, gotta love hand made parts
Nothing like watching a Master and his young apprentice at work.
I know Joe and he is an amazing talented guy. He did the sheetmetal on one of my bikes and it was soo smooth, it didn’t need any bodywork before painting.
I love that his kid is in there: watching, helping, learning.
Nice
Strong Work!
Thanks, Cyril. What talent! Great video, great tunes. Off to find an old Hendrix Blues album…. be right back!
Please please, please, guys – put some safety glasses on! Craftsmen of your skills are too valuable to lose from being blinded by flying objects. Love the fender, peace to you and the little one.
Hand crafted, how cool is that…. We could use more of that.
