I Forge Iron

Met some fellow blacksmiths on holiday!


Recommended Posts

I was on holiday in the French Alps when I heard the wonderful and familiar sound of an anvil. I soon traced the sound down to a small blacksmiths shop in Morillon with an instructional setup.There were a few experienced blacksmiths and a few novices getting instruction on bladesmithing. My French was pretty limited, so we couldn't talk too much, but there were some lovely anvils and forges there. A brilliant use of such a small shop considering how many were using it! This was my first time seeing someone else's shot pin the flesh, got to try out a hand crank blower and see how they faced the same problems different to me.

Sorry some of the pictures are really grainy. I was playing around with shutter speed earlier and forgot to put it back before taking the pictures so they were really dark, managed to brighten them up to visible, but due to the darkness they were taken at a high sensitivity, which made it all grainy.
