I have seen that before somewhere........... But recommend watching it.

days of long ago.

Shaking my head that he could make double the money pushing a broom.

Amazing skills and machinery.
There is a small company still making axes local to me. Pretty sure they use Swedish steel, and getting paid more than $1.25 an hour.

Both of my grandfathers were blacksmiths. They made everything from horseshoes and ploughs to door handles. I've still got a pair of their anvils. Most of what they made is no longer in general use. My mother used to pump the bellows on the forge and had a scar from a piece of burning coal that went down inside the front of her clothes.
