Burt the Blacksmith in Salem 1630: Pioneer Village

Oh yes i saw this on tv - they have medieaval houses like museums with people doing old medieavel crafts, and speaking in old languages. This guy forgot to dress up tho it seems...

Yeah, you're right. He does usually wear a costume when the Village is open, but on this particular day he was in his civilian clothes (and didn't light the fire which was the real bummer). It happened to be the day I had equipment and a crew there because he was talking with students about why he is involved in this. I'm hoping to do a lot more filming of Burt because he is a seriously entertaining guy!

True craftsman.......youve got to be good to do something like this.
