Wild Transylvania Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Blacksmith by Paul.White, on Flickr Hi everyone, I'm new here and I have to confess I am no expert in this field. However, I spend many hours with my neighbour in Transylvania, who is a very traditional Blacksmith using foot bellows to heat his metal. I also have a short video of him at work:- and a webpage dedicated to Miklos' work http://www.wildtrans...blacksmith.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurlyGeorge Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 The first time I let go of the foot pedal on that forge, I'd get hit where I wouldn't want to. I'd have to cut that sucker a little shorter. Thanks for posting the video, and welcome to IFI. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matei campan Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 hello, and "bine ai venit!", I'm from Transylvania, too, from Cluj, but now living in "exile", in Sibiu... that anvil pattern is the most common around here, maybe in the whole central Europe, from Austria to Romania. it exists as original and as local copy. I have two of them, a 32kg original one, JEB is marked on it, and a ~70's local copy of +100kg. the shop is very typical village's shop around here. very nice that you posted it. thank you!

Wild Transylvania Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 Thanks Matei, I will ask Miklos where he got his anvil next time I see him. I must admit I don't know much about them. The first one I saw was at my wedding at Gretna Green Scotland Our Anvil at Gretna Green by Paul.White, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
