Saw is done and ready to go to work! Installed the walnut handle my buddy Craig @ckm.works made for me last week. I’m really happy with the way it turned out. Best of all it cuts great too! #javosironworks #saw #forged #steel #temper #walnut #woodworking #ironworking #tool #tools #workshop #blacksmithing #handmade #madeinamerica #madeinminnesota (at North Saint Paul, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2oeNMhA3q6/?igshid=g20crsan1e5t
One of my favorite pictures from a recent image search. I love browsing the web for examples of old architecture and ironwork, and I thought this picture really exemplified how we’ve turned our backs on art in our everyday surroundings.
You can see the Chain Bridge of Budapest and the building in the center of the photo. Towering over it is a beautiful dome and spires that can’t help but capture your imagination. Look at the all the little details. Look at how the designers and craftsmen took their time to make it more than it needed to be -- to add art to the everyday so passers by would hopefully be inspired to do the best they could do in their lives.
And just to the left of that beautiful building is a monstrosity of modern times. All flat panels and straight lines. The only good thing about it is the windows which allow the occupants to see the splendor right across the street.
Cheap to mass produce all the components, sure. But at what cost to our spirit? What cost to our culture?
If you’d like to see more of the ironwork I produce, please visit my etsy store page at: www.etsy.com/shop/threeriversforge
A blacksmith shop is like a suitcase or the trunk of your car. No matter the size, you will always fill it to capacity and wish there was more storage space ...
It’s always nice to get a mention on a big channel like John’s. He’s doing great things for the blacksmithing trade, and I have to admit that he makes my shirts look great!
Check it out at the 5:56-minute mark and tell me what you think. Is that too sexy a look for a blacksmith? :D And, yes, you can get a shirt and hoody just like that at my Store Frontier page if you’re of a mind. Every little bit helps and is much appreciated! https://www.storefrontier.com/three-rivers-forge
