artists who worked society's most important material-iron.
Blacksmiths were not only a fixture in their community, they helped
shape that community through their particular methods of making the
hinges, hooks, brackets, and tools their neighbors used every day.
Blacksmithing today is enjoying a resurgence. No amount of
technical perfection replaces the feeling of picking up a
hand-forged object, knowing that it was shaped by someone's
creativity and physical effort. Celebrate that individuality with
The Everyday Blacksmith.
