The Strike

This is Scott the Blacksmith. He has just moved his forge into one of the stone barns here at Willowford and today was busy making some joist brackets for a traditional building in the area. He heats up the steel in the forge behind and then shapes it on the anvil by striking the glowing metal with a hammer.

We put a bit of water on the anvil to cause some sparks to fly and add a bit of drama.
