Irish people had so many skills until i guess fairly recently. These doco's are such an important resource and historic record. Ppl who used to make things, they survive hopefully to pass the skills on. :)
No matter how much abundance, prosperity and ease technology brings us, old fashioned hand made items never cease to impress; and in my case, wish for a simpler time.
Grandpa's forge was no being used anymore and was one more place to play when we were young. He brought it with everything else when relocating their homestead in southern Alberta in 1935. Every board and nail, he told us kids and was often heard to say not to rosette that wood, when giving advice. He took over for the local doctor when he got sick, during the flu epidemic in 1918.

The blacksmith split the wood handle on that tool, then immediately covered it up and spun it around so the viewers couldn’t see the mistake lol 😂
Was also cracked on the other side, though. I suspect he placed it in in the wrong orientation.🤦😅
