CBMM Boatyard staff members get a lesson in blacksmithing from visiting masters at Mystic Seaport on March 1, 2017.
A blacksmith has to diversify these days, as this one in Laxey has. Cropped and telegraph wires cloned out.
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!
I spent some time watching this guy. An old trade, like this one, is fascinating. A farrier I know had me try making a horse shoe. This guy makes it look a whole lot easier than what it is !
