I was wondering why you strike the anvil before u hit the shoe or metal making a shoe. It's like u single or double tap the anvil with the 🔨 before strike the shoe? Love the videos.
Question... As a life long professional artist in my mid 60's, now with arthritis in my dominate hand and elbow restricting what, and how long, I can work, HOW LONG before you'll need to consider retiring, according to what older blacksmiths reported when they were forced to quit because of arthritis??
I so enjoy this channel. Thank you for sharing. Back in the day, our blacksmith came to our farm. 🐴💙
Y’all hammer swings are on point ! 💪🏼
That’ll get the arms working!
Great informative video. I view your trade as an amazing primitive art form. Thank you for sharing...
Nice👌🏻 hoping one day I can come compete at Fort Worth.
