Fun day at the Bethaus smithy

 On Sunday I dropped by at Volker´s to lend him a hand and doing some forging myself. There were a lot of kids again having fun with fire and steel;-).

 Daddy was righteously proud of little sonny...

 You might be familiar with one of those pictures, but this is Volker again, forging a snake;-).

 Blades near the fire;-).

 And those were this knife.... (made from mild steel with no edge as a toy...

 and this snail...
