Blacksmithing is an amazing skill that`s been around for hundreds of year.
making hand forged items from steel with hammer on anvil heated by their forge!
The Blacksmith
Fire, steel, rivets and hammer
dust, noise, red hot metal
anvil, tongs and sheer power
the blacksmith has it all
forge fired up and ready
with tools all standing by
leather apron now in place
anticipation is high
arc of sparks from the grinder
flash across the workshop
powering on through the day
working hard until you drop
hammer clashes down on metal
an air of expectation
as slowly the piece is formed
stand back and see his creation
