I Forge Iron

Recommended Posts

Hi folks, I was just watching a documentary on Pearl Jam called PJ20 and at 00:15:30 they are showing the place where Eddie Vetter first practiced with rest of the band and the basement was below a blacksmith shop. You can see a trip hammer, post vise, belt grinder, and then a two horned anvil. I am a fan of PJ and was intrigued as to the smithy shop above their practice area as a reforming band after Andy Wood overdosed on heroin and ended Mother Love Bone. Check it out Netflix has it on instant.


Here's a couple of screen shots.

Seriously... can you imagine two years after they'd practiced in that guy's shop- he's sitting on the couch listening to them on the radio going, "Dude, those kids started in my basement?" I know some smiths have a special sentimental attachment to their anvils and such but wow talk about telling your grandson, "I forged a decorative iron gate on that anvil to the rhythm of 'Jeremy' live in my shop!"
