In 2000, he returned home to the east coast of Canada to become the blacksmith for the ship Hector in Pictou, Nova Scotia. As site smith, he spent seven seasons forging ironwork for the replica ship and demonstrating for the public. In 2007, Ruben launched his own business, Irons Forge Blacksmithing. He now works out of his shop in Brookland, Pictou County where he creates quality home décor items, custom work and fine art sculptures by blending traditional hand-forging techniques with contemporary design.
