July 18, 201610 yr I was able to perform a leaf demo at our state capitol today, ohio historical organization, Ohio Village. Also performed a few other tid-bit lessons.
July 18, 201610 yr They still using the poorly designed overhead bellow you really have to haul down on to get a blast? Wrecked Paul Ailing's shoulder when he worked there for a decade.
July 18, 201610 yr Author He was mentioned. But it be floor mounted. They be given an estimate to rebuild it at 1700.00 They use an electric motor with sewing machine treddle. First one I used. I liked it. But never give up my hand spun blowers. It was odd to see the smith fire it with green coal. Where is the coke from last fire?. And see him dump shovels of green coal right on fire throughout day. But hey. Gooy coal tar works for some. Obviously. I asked a few questions but didn't want to seem like "that guy". Especially when we was all warming up with s hooks and was instructed to harden the low cardon steel at several steps along the way. Bellows in top pic.
July 18, 201610 yr They got rid of their professional crafters over a decade ago---Paul with 10 years in was the new guy of that group. He expected what you ran into would happen...

A perfect example of people thinking they know something but really not even knowing what they don't know. And because they're seen as "authorities" by the visitors, the visitors walk away with a head full of mush. Nice shop, though.

It is called the Dunning-Kruger Effect. Look it up.
July 25, 201610 yr Dunning-Kruger Effect..........yep. Hence the A. C. Doyle quote "Mediocraty knows nothing higher than itself, but talent instantly recognizes genius".
July 25, 201610 yr B M U Scotty, It's not often that I run into a "new" , concept. I suspect that many of us notice this effect in the second or third decade of life. It can be encountered just about any where. And we spend a lot of effort working around the nuisances generated by those afflicted. I had no idea that it had a name, & has been studied and published in the scientific press. Thank you for this wonderful tit bit of information. SLAG. The beginning of wisdom arrives when we realize how little we know, & begin to remedy the situation. SLAG.
