Popular Post sydknee Posted August 7 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 7 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. flarud, Scrappile, meflick and 11 others 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meflick Posted August 7 Report Share Posted August 7 (edited) 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.
