Old world ways in a new world journey - the bridge between yesterday and tomorrow
The best way to predict the future is to create it...
Life's Forge Blacksmith, Charleston, WV
"When I was 14 years old I was reading one of the books in the Foxfire series and came across a chapter that described how blacksmithing was first introduced into Appalachia back in the 1800s... By the time these books were written in the 60s and 70s, blacksmithing in America had almost vanished."
"There was no one around that could teach me so I taught myself by reading every book about the subject that I could get my hands on, and making many, many mistakes."...
... "I have chosen to make blacksmithing my life’s work. I am committed to doing everything I can to help the ongoing effort to bring back the amazing art of blacksmithing and keep this vital part of our American history alive."
