Paley is certainly one of the major figures in the contemporary artisan
blacksmith movement. Born in 1944, this puts Paley in his mid 70's ( a
decade older than I am).
Paley's big breakthrough was in 1973, when he was awarded a commission from the Smithsonian to design the portal gates for the Renwick Gallery in Washington, D.C. [10]
