I'm 64 and would love to do this. (Wish I had started younger.) It is NOT a dying art. More are wanting to get into blacksmithing now than any time in my life. People still want hand made items and pay well. I'm just today setting up a brake drum forge and railroad track (makeshift) anvil to make a couple of knives. I admire this man.
Well, it's not the hot end, and if it is a little warmer than the average guy could handle, it's because he's got really tough hands that have gotten used to picking up hot things. I was that way when I welded, not so much now.
Very nice video, too bad they got the temperatures wrong. The temperatures in the "forge" as it is called in English, can reach temperatures up to 1800C (very bright yellow color) The work temperature for the smith is about 1200 to 800C
Blacksmithing is a lot of fun and you can make more money than other trades, because you can make stuff and sell it and even do welding. A blacksmith can make $100,000 a year.
Brilliant video of a delightful lady and gentleman.It was beautiful to see an artisan at work and a close friend talking us through his activities.Germany and its people are indeed beautiful.
Hey Garry! Thank you for your video! One little remark though. I am not sure if you are German or Bavarian. In Bavaria, including in lower Bavaria a local shortcut for "Joseph" is "Sepp". Given my personal experience that I never heard "Zeb" as name, I might guess she called him "Sepp". Still... Thanks for the video!!!

Top old boy. A true master makes his work look easy. The rest of us would be sweating our heads off just watching! Bravo I say!

No safety glasses, no leather gloves, rolled upped sleeves. Old time iron master.

@TechnicusJoe thats the word I was looking for forge,perhaps I mistranslated the temperatures
Merci
i think the temperature is a tad higher than 700 degrees or is that celcius? Quit using metric

Glad I found this video, I really enjoyed it. Thank you for uploading it. Greetings from England.

@garryentropy I'm sure you have the translation correct, Ich spreche auch Deutsch. So, I guess he got taught that way. Sadly, it isn't correct.

all under the shade of the onion church
VERY NICE GERMAN
@garryentropy you are right. Lol. I am from bavaria and even though both is high-german it IS hard to get.
All the best to you!
Alex.
at 4:55 he says something like "If you do more at once, you can get two at a time in (the apparatus to bend the hot metal)".

Got news for you- as early as 1300 a lot of the work in "old world" shops was done with a water-driven hammer.
I really enjoyed this video the couple had great dialogue and the bit about beauty fades was a gem.
Good old boy. At 83 I hope to be well and truly retired - I don't know how he has it in him!
spent 5 hours today looking for an anvil =S
very nice video garry
hes still going strong, thanks for watching

Groß. Im Netz verzichten die meisten Leute aber auf Groß- und Kleinschreibung.
