Kenneth Spivey Wanted to Make Movie Props Since He Was a Kid and Now He Does

Kenneth Spivey runs Fire & Brimstone Forge and he is a prop maker. Spivey’s forge happens to be in Vestavia Hills, Alabama which is a few hours away from Fayetteville, Georgia where Pinewood Studios is located. Pinewood is where a lot of films are made, and Spivey gets to make the props for many of those movies. He also gets to make props for TV shows and stage productions. This sounds like an awesome job, especially for someone who has wanted to make props since they were a kid. You can learn more about Spivey’s story in the short video below.

Growing up, Kenneth Spivey didn't want to simply experience movie magic; he wanted to make it. So he got to work learning the art of blacksmithing, leatherworking, gem-setting and more. Today, Kenneth's a master prop maker working on Hollywood films like the ones he's always loved-and likely inspiring the next generation.
