ripleycopa Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 A member of our Community Forge, Ron Kelly, had a session in our shop video recorded by his son in law. Really great production values and a great view of our Tom Kennon Blacksmith Shop in Doniphan, Missouri. The link is: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beammeupscotty Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Great production value but unfortunately it does not appear that this old smith actually knows anything about blacksmithing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daninghram Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I am jealous, I wish there was a forge like that that I could hang out in, and interesting old gents like that to be around. Great little video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 So Beammeupscotty, are you saying I didn't make a mistake not watching and longer than him playing with the fire? Whew, what a relief. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 It was the "dead blow" hammer strokes that got to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 I would wager that "old blacksmith" has forgotten more than many of us know. I'm pushing 75 and hope I can still swing a hammer in the coming years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc1 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 I wish the son of my old master had the same respect for his father. When he passed away, the son who was too good to set foot in the father's shop, sold the land to the local developer and the tools for junk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
