primtechsmith Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 I have been asked to give a talk(maybe a small demo later that day as well) on Blacksmithing to a group my wife and I were invilved in at Longwood University. "Primitive Technologies". Hence my name PRIMTECHsmith. These guys flint knap, make atlatls, fire making skills, etc. I am looking at talking to them about a brief history of the blacksmithing trade. I have a lot of information on hand that would take days of lecture. My question to the history buffs out there is what are some of the high points that should be discussed? This is going to hopefully be from "the beginning" and go through the ages...I am looking at about an hour of lecture time... Peyton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
