A typical scene on the outskirts of Pune. The whole family pitches in and helps in the trade. Here the blacksmith is busy doing "jumping" while his wife keeps the bellow going . . . . . .

I was lucky enough to happen by Barry the blacksmith's house & shop when he was in the thick of a project. He was working on pieces for an outdoor sculpture to be placed outside a local school. He was working under deadline pressure -- one day to go before having to be finished. AND, to make it more interesting he's getting married the next day!
Here he's grinding off the rough edges after cutting holes in the iron pieces. He cut the holes with a torch, rounded them out with a drill then used the grinder for finishing.

Damascus steel was a term used by several Western cultures from the Medieval period onward to describe a type of steel used in swordmaking from about 300 BC to 1700 AD. These swords are characterized by distinctive patterns of banding and mottling reminiscent of flowing water. Such blades were reputed to be not only tough and resistant to shattering, but capable of being honed to a sharp and resilient edge
