I believe that this building was moved to Ross Farm in order to preserve it. Unfortunately it was closed the day I was there.
I took a lot of shots trying to get a shot of this artisan hammering a glowing piece of metal. This is the best I got.
I like the sparks though.

We went to the Welsh National History museum today. It has a village setup with various historical houses and shops. This is an old blacksmiths workshop. I thought a black and white treatment suited it. The blacksmith was real and was filing a piece of metal. I wonder if he spent the whole day on that bit of metal. It was quite dark inside and I had to ramp the speed up to ISO 6400.
Mark, a friend of mine gave up his job as an IT manager in a large corporation to start as a 45 year old apprentice as a Blacksmith. So much more brave than I to start all over again and follow his passion!
Blacksmith at work. Brings to mind the song "If I had a hammer..."
Hope to be posting more images from now on...
Today we were in the part of Edmonton known as Strathcona, which was actually part of the first settlement here other than Fort Edmonton itself. I was drawn to this sign on one of the old buildings, although it's not truly ancient as the phone number has seven digits. If you look closely, though, you can see another sign, "implements", beneath it.

This is my third approach to that construction. I had an issue with the shape of the upper floor of that building, but it is finally done :) I’m happy that there is a feature with glowing bricks. When I started that MOC that feature was unavailable.
I rendered a lot of different shots, so I will probably add two post of that blacksmith’s workshop.
Regarding that scene. You can see a lot of work there, two experienced blacksmiths are working hard and one younger journeyman is grinding the blade. Other worker is on the first top. There is always a chance to sell some weapons to some unexpected group of adventurers :)
Regarding the group of adventurers, do you see that group on the road? I was inspired by one old RPG video game. It was one of the most popular games of that type. In that year or next will be released the third part of that title. Small question for you, do you know what game title I mean? :) Please leave a comment if you want.

The Blacksmith Lapwing or Blacksmith Plover (Vanellus armatus).
This shot was taken at Kwetsani Camp, Botswana, on out first drive, in the evening that we arrived.
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!

Everyone was all set to start the 14 minute speed round when a blacksmith realized he was in the round, but wasn't ready. So everyone had to wait, poised, while he gathered his tools and went to his station. And we got some great expressions out of Vern.

I took all these photos on Saturday, April 16, 2016. My friend- Vern- asked me if I'd like to come take photos. I said I'd probably be able to do one day. Next year, I plan on going all three days.
For three days, different blacksmiths from around the world (there were some from Denmark, England, and even Australia) compete by making different horseshoes. Each round lasts an hour and they start with two flat pieces of metal. Where you see two-man teams is a novice. Novice blacksmiths have a more experienced blacksmith run their fire for them. They also do speed rounds, where they get 14 minutes to make a horseshoe after looking at a cadaver hoof for ten seconds.
