a good vid showing wrought iron work,in the comments on you tube the poster talks about a part two on his web site, using google translate i could not find it on the link will look some more to find it.

Thanks - one of the best i've seen depicting traditional methods and tools used - just that short clip taught me a few things I knew but had never seen before, especially like the bending tool.

Thank you so much for sharing this. Watching a master ply his craft NEVER gets old. This is one smith who does not waste a second. Absolutely wonderful.

Wow, what a great video! Thanks for posting it.
....and think of the stuff going in Europe in 1935 when this was made.

I don't speak the language (or read it) but I learned from this video.

It would have been nice if I understood the language. Good video, though. Thanks for sharing.

Definately a germanic language ~Dutch?

Thanks for sharing great video!

Notice the striking style in the first section? And quenching the punch often in the second section.

I think this is a dutch film about german smithing as De Bondsrepubliek Duitsland is Dutch for Germany----Bundesrepublik Deutschland,

There a big interest in folk crafts during the 1930's often tied into the rise of nationalism; many times you have to pay attention to what is shown while ignoring any biased descriptions.
