Blacksmith field trip





Our friend, Scott Wadsworth, loves his hobby of being a blacksmith. You can't find too many people who do it the way it used to be done. He and his father's shop is lined with hundreds of tools from an old train engine smithy. It's pretty awesome.
He showed us how to make several things and even let Enoch help him twist a piece.
We came home with several souvenirs. He even made us two nails that would be very similar to the type that would have pierced the hands of our Savior. Very moving.
He has some you tube videos of he and a friends work. I will have to find them and post them.
Although Enoch is the only one pictured in the pictures I posted, all the children were there and were wonderously well-behaved and sad that they were to short to jump in and do something too!(And just in case you think I'm crazy, Bart was there too!)
