Description

You see here a fire been feed with air. Look on your left no the other left and you see a hand. That hand just turned the wooden handle you see to blow air into the coals to get it super hot to make the metal glow red. The coal they use is not what the old timers used. it a coal that burns clean so the smoke will not give the blacksmith black lungs. If you use the type coals you have to ware a mask. I seen that at a diff place. The one that used the old type coal say it for speacil type of blacksmithing. I know not too much of this trade. Althought I love to watch them do it. this be the last photos of the blacksmiths then move on to other stuff. I was at this place for about 3 hours did not get too many photos for I did not feel good. Guess the body was catching up for i been going a lot . My dad in back home for now. my sister is there to watch him for now and my brother will be comeing in from Colorada to help then. Guess I be there for the week ends? thanks for looking and comments Lot is on my mind lately and I takeing cold showers for my hot water heater broken.; I tried to fix it my self but did not work lol That wake you up [been like that for a week hope to fix it tonight]
