I have been hammering iron for about 35 yrs. Since I have been fulltime I have been call a blacksmith when I made everything without any electrical tool at all because we had no electricity to now I have a tig, 60 KG air hammer, flypress and a friction screw press to help me out and now people call me an artsmith, artist, blacksmith and have even been call a master. I just enjoy hammering iron and asking it to do what I think it should. If that makes me a blacksmith then I guess I are one. There are still a lot of things I would like to produce, just have to pay for the shop and a little wine, so have to do whatever people order, it is just done the way I like and don't comprimise the quality going out my door, even if it means a few more minutes or hours to get er done. Never actually considered the question, to busy having fun
