A busy day in Bunratty

[@georgesears2916]

I feel like a friendship between a blacksmith and a carpenter is an ideal symbiotic relationship.

[@peterschnuffel6216]

True !

[@Leisurelee53]

Fire and iron, Timber and beam. Brothers in craft.

[@NapoleonBorn2Party]

Yeah! Blacksmith needs firewood? Call the carpenter for the trimmings. Carpenter needs tools/fix? Call blacksmith

[@CCootauco]

Probably the oldest workplace friendship in the world

[@limepelt2348]

I've said it once, I'll say it again. Yall have The Best Job. Just using classic methods, living like medieval times but with indoor plumbing. Amazing

[@NapoleonBorn2Party]

It definitely is amazing, but I love how we have power tools now. Lol

[@Nesymafdet]

Wish I could do this as a job.

Wait wait wait. An autographed piece of wood and all I have to do is come visit you at a castle from Canada?? Time to start checking on flights!

[@hoboq7631]

aint it in ireland?

[@EnvYeti]

@@hoboq7631 pretty sure they mean *they’re* in Canada and would have to fly from there.

[@charlie906]

i literally live 10 minutes away! idk why i havent gone yet 😂😂😂

[@Alex-ip2gy]

It’s actually in Ireland 🇮🇪:)

[@bootslawless]

I'm flying to Ireland from Canada and will traveling not far from Bunratty but it isn't on the schedule. I might also have to rearrange my holiday to make a stop 😅

[@beck3319]

Oh to be a tradesman in the medieval times

[@caramelldansen2204]

Why? Pastoral things are nice but the economic system was horrendous! It wasn't exactly Lord of the feckin' Rings!!

[@CosmicTeapot]

⁠@@caramelldansen2204I don't think what they meant has anything to do with Lord of the Rings. I sort of get it too, it's the appeal of living a simple, honest life. Today we have endless choices, opportunities and it's easy to feel depressed and overwhelmed by decision fatigue. I'm in a very high pressure and cerebral line of work, and I often find myself wishing I could just use my hands all day to do one thing incredibly well, and earn my bread that way. Not sure about medieval times though, I do enjoy not dying of diarrhea at age 36, but tradesmanship in general can be very appealing.

Superb - whoever has thought up this concept at Bunratty Castle has got their head screwed on, what better way to see a castle than seeing some action in the courtyards!

[@Barronvoncrash]

I'm a cabinet maker in a modern shop. Only once in a while do we get a special project where I get to play with my hand tools (I do more hand stuff off the clock). Hand cutting joinery on large timber for several days in a row sounds like an ideal vacation to me.

[@robertnett9793]

Pray to the old gods that nobody will take elements of this comment out of context...

[@NapoleonBorn2Party]

I do hand stuff as well in my free time. Especially when alone at home

[@Barronvoncrash]

"I do hand stuff off the clock"😅 please tell me that was intentional 😂

Im happy for you buddy. A positive online influencer thats really showing the appeal of Ireland

[@quinnzykir]

Post apocalyptic writers: humanity can only rebuild using scrap The Irish:

[@MaximilianonMars]

There should be an apocalyptic film where at the end you realise the only affected areas are the cities and everyone in the rural areas are fine, enjoying themselves even.

[@wouterkessel4852]

​​@@MaximilianonMarsI mean they would still have been hit with the damage of the initial detonations and all the surviving city folk turned Raiders/city state factions

[@afriendlycadian9857]

​@@wouterkessel4852depends if you are lucky to live near a castle that's still relatively intact you can use that as a base for the community even better if it has grass/grounds inside means you can grow food safely. Castles quite often also have museums full of equipment weapons armour etc that will be quite helpful if ranged weapons become hard to come by

[@hotlinemiami4614]

​@@wouterkessel4852 I think what they mean Is, while the citys are destroyed the rual folks had already rebuilt to make it look like nothing happened

[@lauriedepaurie]

I'm not a craftsperson, heck I hardly know my way around basic saws and aimple projects, but one of my favorite things about seeing skilled craftspeople is how half of their energy and skill is put into creating better tools.
