Blacksmithing

Posted on 2009 under Medieval Blacksmithing | 2 Comments

Here is an area that I’ve not talked much about – blacksmithing. Initially, most of what I found was rather contemporary in nature; however, I did find a very interesting and informative site with significant content about how to create various items. Anvilfire’s iAnvil pages contain some wonderfully detailed instructions on how to create: hinges, door knockers, various tools, and various types of ornamentations (twists, braids, spirals, vines and much more). While there is still alot of contemporary references, many of the projects and techniques are applicable to Medieval era metalworking.
