I am not a blacksmith, but I do enjoy a good metalworking video on youtube now and again! The reason I am posting here is because my son is working on a report/project for his 7th grade history class. His topic is "medieval blacksmithing". Part of the project is a hands on activity for other students to take part in. My son seems to think I know everything and asked what ideas I might have for his hands on activity. I have zero ideas. I mean, they can't exactly pound on some red hot iron at school!
I figured a metalworking forum would be a good place to ask. Does anybody have any ideas? The scope is pretty broad. We appreciate any input you might have!
Thanks!
