Huck Ironworks is a blacksmithing and fabrication shop located in beautiful Bozeman, Montana. Owner and sculptor Levi Rugheimer was born and raised in Bozeman.
Levi met his wife Nicole in Crested Butte, CO. Together they are returning to Bozeman to become part of the Gallatin Valley community and grow their business Huck Ironworks.
The name Huck, was thought of when looking back to Nicole and Levi’s first date. Levi decided to take Nicole to the extremes of Crested Butte for a mountain town, “girlfriend test”. Levi skied on ahead leaving Nicole at the top of a mandatory cliff, where she had to “Huck '' herself off the cliff to get down. It’s a story that has been told countless times and now stands as the perfect business name for Levi and Nicole.
