As you already may know our blacksmithing shop had the privilege to host a practical blacksmithing demonstration called:
How to protect the iron elements of a historical building.
If you are interested to see what had been spoken in the theoretical blacksmithing demo and what had been demonstrated in the practical part of the demo you can watch the short movies that we filmed. I am going to point out for you what had been spoken at the theoretical blacksmithing demo.
- identification of the forged iron elements and the damage that can occur in time
- presenting the methods of wrought iron protection against rust, methods of restoration and methods of taking care of the wrought iron elements.
- making of a list, project that is necessary for the blacksmith to have when starting a restoration job.
- cost calculation using the list, project that was done.
Lecture clip: How to protect the iron elements of a historical building
Theoretical:
Inside WALLY Junior’s shop, Stephan Christ, the blacksmith presented some basic methods of traditional forging. First thing that he had showed was how to make a spike and how to make a ring, offering the students the chance to forge with theyer own hands the same elements. As you can see in the short clips the iron, the metal can be forged even by a young beautiful woman if she has enof will and passion to hand forge iron using nothing else than a hand hammer and an anvil.
Practical : The will and the passion of a beautifful woman
Practical : Made out of with the hands of an actor
