Demonstration Item Choices for Blacksmithing to the Public

Here I make decisions about which of my public blacksmithing items to put on a poster board that will be hung at MTM in St. Paul Mn.
Go to my website at: www.spaco.org to see more.

I like the idea of having the parts on a board instead of a poster. I like seeing the real thing when I visit historical places. I think it adds power to the display.

Nice video Pete. I agree with Thunder below, a 3 dimensional object is better than a picture. I'd also label item so folks know what they are. Mentioning the basic processes (drawing out, tapering, etc.) would also be good. Simple but informative is the way to go but easier said than done...

It's there to show WHY I did what I did, not HOW I did it. The idea is to give other blacksmiths a possible way to do demos where the focus is on teaching, not on showing off.

@@frenchcreekvalley Good point, gotta know the intended audience. I was just considering it was at the museum, lots of public types that might be seeing this for the first time.
