Saw this and liked especially the human figure

 

Thanks for posting that Wayne, plenty to aspire to in that vid, I can see me revisiting this link more than a few times.

The common language is the metal thank you

I listened to the entire thing even though I couldn't understand a word of it.  Absolutely wonderful 30 minutes!  I'll definitely be revisiting this link in the future.

What a great video, no idea what he is talking about, but super inspiring, itching to light the forge now!

Good Morning,

One of the things he is talking about is 'How to be a Striker'. He demonstrated how to call for a Striker, How to signal for the Striker to stop. How to work with One, Two and Three Strikers and How to use your own Hammer between each strikers blows. It's all music, Rhythm, Tap your toes, Tap your nose, Tap your Blows.

The language is Hungarian, one of the hardest languages to learn. You can pick out a few root words and follow what he is doing by understanding what he is doing. His body language is wonderful, he is making almost NO gestures with his hands. A very good speaker!! A very good Smith!!

I wasn't sure on the language, but yes the odd word is familiar, it's oft with the western/central/southern European languages that the odd words are from the same root origin. However, the images say so much it's well worth viewing again and again to catch what you missed the previous time.
