An Introduction to Blacksmithing
March 28th, 2007
As a fan of all things medieval I have always been interested in the art of blacksmithing. You probably have given it some thought too. I haven’t done any blacksmithing yet but I plan to.
Anyway, I have a friend who did take a class on blacksmithing and we talked extensively about what he learned. He has loaned me an object he made and he told me some interesting things about the process.
I have written a full explanation of what he learned and have taken lots of pictures of the fire poker he made. (Thats the picture shown here in this post).
If you want to learn what he learned about shaping metal, the anvil, the temperature and more check out my webpage here: Blacksmithing
If you are really interested in the subject of Medieval Blacksmithing and Swordmaking I have put together, In association with Amazon.com The Blacksmith’s Bookstore
