- 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.

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
