I love black smithing, too. When my son was under driving age he made me drive to about a million blacksmith meetings. We are fortunate to have lots of them in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana. I believe there are people that collect blacksmiths get tools and equipment just like we do sewing machines. At the time we were going crazy, I had some serious physical issues so I was unable to pound much metal. It is very intriguing to watch an old master blacksmith working the metal but my favorite is watching forge welding. I have seen blacksmith art most people are never privileged to see. It is amazing to see the colors of the metal when it gets hot. My family history is full of blacksmiths. My dad was the first to not be a blacksmith. I guess it affects how I view and appreciate the craftsmanship that went into those old sewing machines.
