Film showing blacksmiths in 1923

[Boyd]

A nice film showing some great smithcraft.
Starts off with a nail maker (first 2 minutes) and ends with guys making Ox Shoes (yeah never heard of them)
It takes a while to load and play

Enjoy.

I expect everyone's oxen to be sporting shoes in the next few months...

That was a really cool film Boyd. Thanks for posting that. A really good film for anyone wanting to make nails - these guys make it look really really easy.

There are other films on there as well. I've just watched the one on making buckets, which is also really good:

I'm working my way through them because this is exactly the sort of thing I'm doing in the workshop anyway.

Cheers for posting that.

Actually, to add to this, there are some other great films in there worth checking out if you're a blacksmith or woodworker. There are even films on one pottery, rope making and fabric dying among others.

Since all the titles are in Swedish, I watched them for you and took a guess at what they were about so you didn't have to:
