Blacksmithing

Logan got to do blacksmithing at Foxfire. He really enjoyed it.

He started out by flattening a huge nail.

He then curled it to make a rat tail.

Then curved it into a J shape.





He had to cool it off when he was done shaping it.



He made a hook!

I am always drawn to the blacksmith. The magic of hot iron and the art amazes me.

"If people let government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny."

How nice for them to learn how people lived before the days of megastores...when you made do with what you had..or figured out a way to make it.
