Very cool, thanks.

Personally I like the safety gear though my feet aren't that tough.

Good video. Nice to see people making it work without all the fancy equipment.

Btw, just a word of warning, don't click on the link for "le forgeron" silly me I though it might be about forging.

ducky, he would probably still use what he has now, his little forge uses hardly any charcoal and is just perfect for the work he does. And most of the smiths in that part of the world set to do their work. And that is a true ground forge, just simple and very well adapted to his type of work.

I think that maybe I would like to see him put a wedge in that hammer of his other then that he has a pretty good setup. It is a lot better than my first one.
