heyyou, first, blacksmithing is very much NOT a dying art; there are 4000 members in the national organization alone. second, you are welcome to your purist views, but water-operated power hammers have been around for hundreds of years. third, every blacksmith who wants to make a living needs a power hammer. try forging a 100-foot railing by hand. fourth, your definition of blacksmithing as solely hand-work is random nonsense, historically and factually. fifth, i love to hand-forge.
Yep!
hardy tools?
Hey I need to one of those.. I think I have seen you on I Forge Iron.. Thanks for sharing with us…Tom aka WagonMaster.
Do you earn a living with just a hand hammer? Or do you just expect others to?
So, are you saying I’m not forging or I’m not making blacksmith tools? Nowhere did I say I was blacksmithing.
That’s not blacksmithing…That’s industrialism from the 1940’s. What is it with all these people calling themselves blacksmiths and most of the time they’re using POWER machinery?…No wonder it’s a dying art
That is Sweet.
AWESOME! Thanks Grant!
Cool a couple of my videos were featured. Thanks!
The basis of blacksmithing is the hand work. When you have to figure out a way of doing something it is done by hand first. Then it can be scaled up to using power hammer work or if you have to make many of the same item power is a way to still make a living at this labor intensive trade.
