Lou L Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 A student of mine who is currently hewing his own lumber to build his post and beam smithy in his back yard showed me this video. This summer he had the opportunity to apprentice under a blacksmith in Maine who taught him this piece of history. The tolling these smith's used was amazing. Their maple beam power hammer is a thing of beauty. Enjoy. https://youtu.be/Qr4VTCwEfko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 LouL, it's been a couple of years I think since that was last posted here; thanks for bringing it back into the light... Has he seen the Post and Beam Smithy Charles McRaven built; pics in "Country Blacksmithing" I once stumbled across the original when making a trip in that area and recognized it immediately.

Lou L Posted September 14, 2017 Author Share Posted September 14, 2017 Apologies for the repost. I have to admit, it is essentially impossible to see everything on IFI....and this wasn't really a searchable topic. Still, it is an excellent video and I find it awesome that a high school junior excitedly shared it with me. Lou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 No apologies needed; it is good to be reminded about such valuable videos from time to time! The archeological metallurgy mailing list just had a couple posted that I need to review before posting their links here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
