Since I decided to make an album for Hancock Shaker Village in Hancock, Massachusetts, I'm adding 10 additional images, from my visit on November 23, 2018. Here are two more views from the smithy. Here, the smith is using a bellows to make the fire hotter.
The Blacksmith Thomas Grasby and helper. Thomas Grasby was born in 1785 and died aged 73 in 1858. His forge was at the eastern end of Blacksmith's Row, I believe he can be seen staning in his forge in the photo of Blacksmith's Row.

The Blacksmith Lapwing or Blacksmith Plover (Vanellus armatus) occurs commonly from Kenya through central Tanzania to southern and southwestern Africa. The vernacular name derives from the repeated metallic 'tink, tink, tink' alarm call, which suggests a blacksmith's hammer striking an anvil.

I waited for everyone else to leave the room and then asked the chap for a portrait. I didn't want to ask to go over the chain cordoning off the furnace but it seems that I should have done as another member of the group managed to get over and make their own lead ingots. Lack of a decent background excludes this from possible competition use though I still think it is a nice portrait.
Didn't notice the turtle until I got the shot home. It is perhaps, under all that mud, a serrated hinged terrapin, Pelusios sinuatus.

Notes:
This was located at 1200 Dundas Street East and dates back as early as the 1820s. It was demolished in 1963.
Whitby’s house numbering system was provided by Rev. Dr. James Roy Van Wyck (1877-1941), a retired Presbyterian minister. Van Wyck provided this service to the town, free of charge, during the Great Depression. By the summer of 1935, Whitby had a population of about 4,000 people and a house numbering system was needed. Prior to 1935, residences and businesses were listed in the telephone book with the street on which they were located. As well, there was no need for a house numbering system since all mail was picked up by local residents from the town post office. Under Van Wyck’s system, each block was numbered by a hundred. For instance, the first block south of Dundas on Brock Street was the 100 block; the second, the 200 block, and so on. Buildings on the west side of the street were given even numbers, while buildings on the east side were given odd numbers. On streets running east and west, even numbers were given on the north side while odd numbers were provided on the south. Van Wyck was careful to assign numbers for vacant lots between existing homes. Assigned house and business address numbers were published in the Whitby Gazette and Chronicle and a postcard was mailed to each residence in 1935 with the assigned house number and asking residents to please place this assigned number at their front door. Brooklin was given a house numbering system in the late 1960s or early 1970s, while Ashburn, Myrtle and Myrtle Station received a house numbering system in the 1980s or 1990s.

Cambria Iron Works Complex, the Blacksmith Shop is the most historically significant of the structures. Originally owned by the Cambria Iron Company, the Blacksmith Shop produced a wide range of metal products throughout the 19 th and 20 the centuries. With the decline of the steel industry and the closing of Bethlehem Steel Corporation in 1992, the Blacksmith Shop has since been vacant.
The Blacksmith Shop is a large brick structure that was constructed in at least five stages. The original building is octagonal shaped with an octagonal cupola, containing heavy timbered roof trusses with iron tension rods, common-bond red brick walls and pilasters. In the 1870s, a rectangular wing was added to the west elevation and in 1885 another wing was added on the east elevation. It retains a full complement of original turn-of-the-century forging and smiting tools and a variety of steam-powered hammers, including a ten-ton steam hammer owned by the Smithsonian Institute and leased to the Redevelopment Authority .
The blacksmith shop makes everything metal: from swords, to large cannons, to radios, and oil rig drill-bits.
I made this blacksmith shop about a year ago.
Best viewed large.
