Blacksmith.

[sydknee]

My father was a Blacksmith. He started his apprenticeship when aged 14 and worked until aged 65. A kind hearted man with a will as strong as the iron he worked. He had five sons and to his disappointment only one followed in his footsteps. I was’t the one as I went to sea when I was 15 and since then have worked countless (over 30) different jobs in different countries.

as per usual I used all recycled wood.

Very nicely done.  Welcome to the Village.  Lots of friendly helpful folks here always willing to lend a helping hand.  Check out our pattern library there should be some patterns to strike your interest.

Welcome.  Nice piece. My husband's great grandfather was a blacksmith. We still have a few things from his shop including a ledger where he kept track of the work he did along with a bench.

Well done and your write-up and scroll saw project together are a fine tribute to your father. God Bless! Spirithorse

Nice job on a sentimental piece! Love how the grain in the backer works with it.
