About Blacksmithing

There is a certain romance about white-hot steel being hammered into a useful shape that no amount of modern technology will ever replace. Like turning a bag of coffee beans into a delicacy, the journeyman blacksmith can take a piece of high-carbon steel and turn it into a beautiful railing, knife or tool. This page is dedicated to these artists.
