Blacksmith Visit



In an attempt to start answering some of Mr. R's questions we mounted our bicycle and hit the road.




The goods.

You need fire.


The fire needs oxygen, so you pull the chain which...


makes this go up and down and ...


 pumps oxygen that makes the fire stronger and hotter.


The steel (I think that's what it is) is placed in the hot coals and fire which makes it softer.


Then it is easier to shape.


Bang, bang, bang!




They are old pipes, here they recycle everything!

Mr. R loved this visit.  We plan to go again.
