Blacksmith Forged Wrought Iron Dividers

Blacksmith Jennifer Petrila forges wrought iron dividers at the Moses Wilder blacksmith shop in Bolton, Mass. Starting with an illustration from a pattern book, Jennifer crafts the dividers from wrought iron stock and an old rasp to create a traditional dual wing, double joint divider.
The book is available on Amazon: a.co/d/0Huk5qs

This young lady has to be my favorite blacksmith. She’s so effective at the anvil.

What a very enjoyable video! Wow! You have a very nicely setup smithy, your belows! Wow! Wish I could make one like that.
You work with vigor and enthusiasm, your talk time matches your forging time. You talk like a pro and your video quality is exceptionally good.
Of all the many many blacksmithing vids I've seen, your's is one of the best. I've learned a lot from you today. Very nice tool you've made. Wow again! Greetings from Philip Roux in South Africa
