2Tim215 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 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.

Anvilfolk Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagGeorge Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 It would have been nice if I understood the language. Good video, though. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wd&mlteach Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Definately a germanic language ~Dutch? Thanks for sharing great video! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 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.
