I was lucky enough to spend a couple of hours with a local blacksmith and take some photographs of him whilst he worked.
He was making a fire poker with a Rams head decal. I've got to say the process was absolutely fascinating and at times I found myself watching rather than taking photographs. The craftsmanship that goes into these things is astounding and it's a wonder these guys actually recover their costs when you consider the amount of time it takes to make one item.
I'd take on of these over a cheap chinese machine forged fire poker any day.

Jens is an extremely talented blacksmith. He has been forging for over 20 years and approaches his skill as an art. He firmly believes in the importance of all the elements working together and the respect of the flame and intent as he forges blocks of iron into beautiful masterpieces. Whether its the hard iron ore or soft bronze and delicate steel, he understands the metals and their needs and uses his experience and knowledge to create his work. It has been such a pleasure getting to know him and Clara and working with them as he demonstrated his craft. I am also proud to say that he used several of my photographs from our recent shoot for his new brochure advertising his business!
This lady was trying really hard to do everything the master Blacksmith was telling her and her concentration was complete.

Immensely tied as it is with early California history, Sutter's Fort also had a key role in the ill-fated Donner Party. Sutter's Fort was the ultimate destination of the emigrants who were trapped near Truckee Lake in the winter of 1846-1847, and several rescue attempts, both failed and successful, were launched from the fort, though 42 of 87 the trapped emigrants died and the survivors were reduced to cannibalism. Sutter ultimately swallowed most of the cost of the rescue operations, and tended to the survivors at his fort.
