It's been a real blast! I don't think these workshops/ seminars on blacksmithing are over. Actually I believe we are just beginning. There is much that can be shared with the Peruvians. They can use the knowledge many of the US blacksmiths have acquired over the years. Some of these folks are already accessing the blacksmithing content we have posted on the Internet. Their main problem is that most of them do not speak english. And the translators on Google and Alta Vista are terrible for translating technical terms.
But there is hope...
Let's all give of our metalsmithing knowledge when ever someone asks. I'd love to see blacksmithing continue to be a viable craft for generations to come. Wouldn't you?
