stovestoker Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Just found this on YouTube. Going to grab some stills. Pretty cool to see a shop left the way it was. Sorry if this has been posted before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimsShip Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 That's awesome! I wish i could find a shop like that. All my house had when we moved in were dust bunnies. How does the lock/screw work? I like that idea, very sneaky! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Thanks for the link, I'll have to drop by if we're ever in the neighborhood. A quick Google search yields a bunch of hits, I'm thinking some good surfing. The cabinet lock is a basic ward lock. There's a good Woodwright Shop episode with Peter Ross about forging locks and keys. Those are good surfing too. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausfire Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 What a great story. How wise was the gentleman's wife to lock it up and keep it preserved for future generations. A snapshot in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOB T Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 If you're ever in the neighborhood (Havehill,IA) .. Make it a point stop by and see the blacksmith shop. I've been in that shop many times and it's as the videos said "just as he left it"there is a church cemetery just few blocks and in the cemetery are several iron made grave markers that were made in this blacksmith shop. There are monthly Hammer-in and May Event with a demonstrator which are put on by the Upper Midwest Blacksmith Association. The demonstrations and hammer-in are done in shop built next to the original shop so as not to destroy the original condition of the blacksmith shop as it was 70 years ago.Yours (me) truly, will be the demonstrator this May 17th&18th. If you are the area stop by.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
