Welcome to the Tinkers Shop
Earth - Air - Fire and Water
|
These are the Traditional Four Elements of the Blacksmiths shop... |
|
The Iron is from the Earth, Air is from the Sky, Fire is from the Sun and Water is of the Sea... |
|
From these four things the fifth Element, that of Mind and Spirit. This brings forth the tools which allow all of us to prosper in this wonderful world. |
|
For the first few weeks I'll be talking about the basics of Blacksmithing and then we will move onto other subjects. |
|
There are a lot of good sites on the Internet for further information beyond what I can cover on the show. |
|
Herefordshire and Ludlow College has some excellent resources which they have made freely available on their web site in the 'Rural Craft Publications section. |
