Taken in the small hill town of Bergamo Italy. Makes you wonder how long this blacksmith shop has been in this spot. I like the stone work bench and the metal block that has worn into the stone.

I took this picture on a visit to the Welsh museum in Sr Fagans. It was taken soon after I bought my D700 and at that time I posted a picture showing the blacksmith looking down at his work. I few people commented that they couldn't see his face, so as I took a few shots, here is one of him chatting as he worked. The only light in the work-room was coming in from the window on his left. I had to use an ISO of 6400 for the shot.

Taken at the Renaissance festival in Rogersville, TN.

Decided to check out the Glenbow Museum, just for kicks. Saw it WAY too many times as a school-age kid on field trips, and was hoping it would be cooler now that I'm an adult. There would have been a lot more pictures if it was.

 

I have to admit, these wax figures (or something similar) were a nice touch to the Medieval exhibit.

Demonstration by the blacksmith how they shape something special from only round bars.

This machine build in chemnitz in 1927 still working today.

I captured this blacksmith on the medieval festival in Feldkirch this weekend. As if it was not hot enough to work directly at the fire, then the sun helped out with this matter too ;-)

But they had enough beer, so I guess it was ok with them :-)

This photo has been identified as the Booth-Kelly blacksmith shop at Wendling, Oregon in March 1901.

Early mills and logging camps of any size had blacksmith. Tools were often hand forged and repaired here.

In 1901, two men were known to have been blacksmiths at Wendling, James Waddell and Milton Bally. Milton in 1903 was transferred to being the blacksmith at the Springfield Booth-Kelly mill and just a few years later was half-owner of the Fischer-Bally company.

The date of the photo is derived from the calendar on the wall.

If you can name any of the men in this picture or positively identify Milton Bally or James Waddell in this image, please comment.

52 Beers: #33

 

Half Guinness, half Smithwick's, a combination I had not heard of before tonight. I'd been drinking a Guinness for this project (oh, how I suffer for my "art") and when I hesitated in ordering the second, the bartender asked if I'd like a Blacksmith instead. I was like "ummmm... huh?" It's a little lighter than standard Guinness, and you get the Guinness+something lighter separation that is SO cool, no matter how many times I see it. So Guinness, you'll have to wait until another week, because the new fancy beer combination had to be the one for the project. And I think I'll definitely have this again.

Here he is making the opening to the bottle opener. The metal was so hot he had to keep moving it so it wouldn't stick to the anvil.
