    It's wonderful to see these old skills survive. I guess there are blacksmiths around here but they are hard to find. The next lane to our own is named "Smithy Lane" but there is no smithy now.

    It looks fascinating and you covered it well. I get a little nervous close to hot things, like bubbling vats of cheese, especially if they smell so good you want to dip your hand in it. Anyway, good "at work" shots and I'd be mesmerized watching a black smith.

    it is always fascinating to watch people working at old crafts. On tv last night I saw someone handmaking shoes and a lady with an old knitting machines specifically for socks - I think i was around during the world wars. Stay safe and thank you again for the link up.

    The older I get, the more I appreciate these looks back at 'the good old days' -- this thankfully, was before my time! ;-)

    From the photos (although from the archives), you obviously enjoyed watching and learning. Tradesmen such as this always make me wish I had a "talent"...:)jp
