About Lufolk:
I have always been interested in the simple things in life. When I look back in history i gets inspired and fascinated by the people who came up with all the smart solutions to make our everyday life easier. It's impressive what you can accomplish with few tools and great skill. The first time I got that feeling, like wow I made this, this will be useful, was when I as a kid made a wooden spoon. And think that was the start, I have ever since been interested in making things. You can see more of my work on my website or on my Instagram:

Fantastic work and a pleasure to watch. Out of curiosity, why is it that you occasionally tap the anvil with your hammer and then strike the work piece?

[@lufolkcrafts]

Thank you very much! Great to hear that you like it! When i tap the anvil i calibrate the hammer face. I get a feeling how the hammer face is i line with the anvil.
