This site is devoted to my love of
Blacksmithing, Ancient Art and History.
 
It will be a never ending project but my hope is to someday have the most
complete collection of Art work and Historical Legends pertaining to Blacksmithing.
Among these pages there will also be Quotes and Links to interesting sites
and sometimes stories that I just find interesting.
 
My main focus will be on the stuff that isn't well known.
I'm starting with the Ancient World and working my way forward to present.
 
If you like this stuff you should get the book
"The Blacksmith & his Art" by J.E. Hawley
The first 50 pages are devoted to this subject and I use this work as the main reference to research from.
 
I welcome your comments and suggestions.
And I hope you find something here to Enjoy
