Description: I make an outdoor blacksmith shop - show the build from start to finish. I use recycle materials and hand tools, no power tools. Open the full video description for more information. I was a fulltime blacksmith making mainly axes and I still have my indoor well equipped blacksmith shop (don't sell any thing any more). A shop where you stand up and work. So I wanted to do something different with the new shop - a hole in the ground and all the gear around the hole and most of the time do you sit down and work. That is not a new way to do it - it was and still is a common way to do it in a lot of areals in the world. The new outdoor shop and the old indoor shop is next to each other. 10 meters apart and 10-20 meters from my home, Sami gamme. -------------------------- A few quick questions: 1. Where did you get the air blower? In my case is it one made in Denmark for the danish military. Bought it local from a private seller here in Denmark. Similar is common for blacksmithing - if you want one try to google "Hand crank forge air blower" or similar. 2. What if it rains? No problem. It's under roof and on a high spot. 3. Why not make the grinding stone foot operated or something else more efficient? Wanted to make a simple one. If I need to grind a lot do I use my big grinder in the indoor blacksmith shop - it's only 10 meters from the outdoor blacksmith shop.
