About me:
Hi! My name is Philip and one of the people behind Lufolk. I have always been interested in the simple things in life. When I look back on history I get inspired and fascinated by the people who came up with all the smart solutions to make our everyday life easier. What you can accomplish with a few tools and great skills is impressive. The first time I got that feeling: I made this! This will be useful! Was when I made a wooden spoon as a kid. And think that was the start, I have ever since been interested in making things.

One of my favorite scenes from the show Parks and recreation, is when Ron Swanson is examining a wood chair he built. He smashes it and says it looks like a machine made it. I completely understand the dilemma of making something look rougher on purpose so that it's not mistaken for a factory made piece.

When I started blacksmithing I also started collecting old hand forged objects. It's amazing how some are finished so well that you are not sure it's old until you find a forge weld.

I agree

[@SSSmithing]

Your work is wonderful. How many years have you been black smithing? How many pounds is the short handled hammer you use? Thanks

[@lufolkcrafts]

Thank you very much! I started to build my first forge in 2011. My main hammer is around 1 kg, the ball peen maybe 400g? Something like that 🙂

Iron must have seemed to be magical: beginning with ore from the earth and adding the magic of fire and craft something flowing was made that then hardened itself.

[@lufolkcrafts]

Yes, and imagine in pre-iron age time when the only source of usable iron was space

[@lbaldylocks6681]

Awww, we didn't see the part where you joined the two drawn out sections to make one solid piece :c

[@lufolkcrafts]

Maybe in next video 🙂

[@ryjka1]

Perdhro, are you planning to shake the dice cup? You have forged a beautiful ring sir for the game of life.

[@lufolkcrafts]

Thank you! Not my ring 🙂

[@y-notforge8913]

[@lufolkcrafts]
