Join me on my quest into blacksmithing as I learn how to forge a nail using a coal forge and hammer. I travel to Alex Pole’s blacksmith shop in Somerset, aptly named “The Forge” where he teaches me beginner blacksmithing tips like how to use a coal forge, how to use a hammer and anvil and most importantly, how to forge a nail by hand! I learnt so much on this adventure, and it truly made me appreciate the skill and craft of our ancestors. Stay tuned for more videos with Alex down the road…
