The Making of an Artisan Forged Hammer at Forge Ilmarinen

Forging a hammer head takes patience and precision. Romain of Forge Ilmarinen spent years learning blacksmithing with the Compagnons of France, and has brought his craft to Quebec, creating traditional items with modern tools.
Blacksmithing, like any traditional, artisan craft, is not just a thing of the past, to be performed in museums and for historical reenactment: it's a living craft done by modern people for modern needs.

[@FoxesandRavens]

Thanks man! Romain is the real deal, he’s a french Compagnon. He makes a lot of those hammers for other french blacksmiths, which is funny because he moved to Canada, haha. Put this Billy Strings in touch with me I guess? Email [e-mail] 😊
