    Ian Lowe is a professional blacksmith who gets to "play with fire and hit things."

    this man was my best friend and he was a wonderful friend and so passionate about his craft! Which he traveled the world to learn from master black smiths. He loved teaching the kids as he was a massive child really!!😊 He learned from Master black smiths in Australia,Norway and America just that I can remember off the top of my head. Great soul and an artist

      I had to re watch it but it was worth it. The face he pulls is a classic

    What with 3D Printing and Robotics, nothing is future proof.

    The chinese make pretty cheap spoons nowadays. I wouldn't spend a day banging a hammer to make one. And if you have a big family...

      If price was everything blacksmiths would've been dead for much longer. There's a different kind of value in handforged items.
      Blacksmithing won't rise out of obscurity but it can be a well paying job.
