About 15 years ago I worked Kings Landing,a living historical Museum and was very lucky to play the part of the village blacksmith. Working there I met this old fella, Gordon who was the village carpenter,and also sold antique tools , I purchased a small blower from him and had that in my work shop since last year behind the wood stove. Last winter I built my forge from a brake drum and have been learning this most rewarding craft ever since.
