Another beautiful community event at MLF's Community First! Village using craft, farming & food to build bridges between volunteers and the homeless. We believe that hospitality, shared work & a common table are vital to our ultimate purpose of connecting human to human, heart to heart.
Only place in town where the teachers, craftsmen, cooks and leaders are homeless and there to serve you, the volunteer. Come on out and help us build a community that will change hundreds of lives for the better!

This album records a morning spent exploring one of the most appealing parts of the Maine coast, starting with a very early walk around the adjoining towns of Damariscotta and Newcastle, then breakfast at our B&B before driving through Bristol and down to the iconic lighthouse at Pemaquid Point with a stop at the amazing studio of blacksmith/sculptor Andrew Leck (the Scottish Lion). We then headed up the eastern part of the peninsula through New Harbor and past the Nature Conservancy's Salt Pond Preserve (dedicated to ecologist Rachel Carson), with lunch back in Damariscotta before heading east up the coast to Acadia National Park.
A new volunteer event happening every other Saturday morning this summer at the MLF Village. A small team of learning blacksmiths (both volunteers and homeless friends) trying our hands at metal beautifications for the Village and then joining in the Genesis Garden program's amazing Cowboy Brunch after! It's a beautiful thing!
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.
Blacksmith Shop in the Grand Canyon Village Historic District, a national landmark district (c. 1904).
Shot with a Revue 300C (King Regula Picca-Mat), a camera without optical focusing aid (so guess the distance:-)
This model actually has a light meter, but that doesn't work in low light conditions. So the (combined) time/aperture setting is guesswork, to.
Probably shot at lowest setting (meaning f2.8, 30s). Underexposed nonetheless...
Film: Agfa Vista 200
BTW, Industriemuseum Lauf is great. Very authentic, as if the workers had just left.

These are a couple of the tools the Blacksmith at Fort Langley uses daily. This is from the very successful No Compacts Allowed photowalk to Fort Langley on Sunday Feb 21
Historical Re-enactment of Traditional Ironwork by a Real Blacksmith
"The Blacksmith Shop reconstruction was modeled after a shop originally built by the Stroecker family in the latter part of the 19th century and last used by Johnny Hauser in the early 20th century. Built of native stone from local quarries, this shop's construction was designed and engineered by volunteer Les Schrader. The forge, anvil and a majority of the tools were used for over fifty years by Henry Wohead until 1978, when his shop on Olsen Lane closed as the last working blacksmith shop in town. "
