Cyrus McCormick, an important American inventor was a skilled blacksmith. Louis XVI was both skilled at the forge and a locksmith of great talent. Peter the Great was also a skilled blacksmith. But you might do better with a movie star. At least two Hollywood cowboys (but I forget who) were competent smiths in iron, tin, and copper. So the idea works.
