METTLE ON METAL

Amateur blacksmithing artist Steve Jones talks about what his craft means to him as he heats, pounds, and shapes iron into art. The project was shot over the course of two days, with the goal of making a video on an art, look and feel artful.

This video was made using a DSLR, Nikon's D3s. My thoughts and impression on using a DSLR to make a video, and the equipment I used, can be found at http://richaddicks.wordpress.com/2010/03/18/mettle-on-metal/ (my blog).

You sir inspired me.

the modern blacksmithing channel was very nice, but you made me do my final decision.

I will be a blacksmith later in life, but not for the next 10 or 20 years. I am going to make sure I have money first to start out with and in case something goes wrong I will still have enough to live on until I get a new job.

all in all you made a great video and nice tools!

Fasinating video! Please continue your work and pass on this craft, in this world where not many people want to do much effort anymore, so sad....
