Did the picture get flipped or is that a left-handed blacksmith?
Damn, I miss doing that.
>Did the picture get flippedNot flipped according to the lettering on the blue cardboard box to the right. I'd say he was using a "swage block" to make a fireplace shovel.
Nice holder for the swage block; I've got to weld up one of those myself.
Yep, that's a swage block
Just learning and so was proud of myself to ID the tool correctly. Blacksmithing is cool ... well, hot too. And difficult; least for me at the moment...
From arm wrasslin' contests years ago - leave those blacksmiths alone!
