素晴らしいお仕事です、むかしの村の鍛冶屋の歌を想い出します。私も今年73歳になります。まだ若いつもりで居ますが、山の下草刈りは1時間しか出来ません。60代でしたら半日は刈払機を肩にかけて、振り回す事が出来ましたが、今は無理です。仕事をした次の次の日に疲労が出ます。どうぞお体を労ってお仕事を続けてください。お元気で…

what is he using for the welding flux? the black powder?

[@leatherface711]

the powder is iron powder mixed with most likely borax powder

[@leatherface711]

but i’ve seen old school smith’s use just straight iron powder in forge welds

is this after the great tsunami in 2011?
