Description
I recently visited a re-creation of a 1646 Blacksmith shop, at the Saugus Iron Works, Saugus, Massachusetts. I watched the blacksmith making nails and a hook latch just like this one. The nails were the old fashion square head nails and there are a few used in this photo. The circle markings, on the latch, were made with a tool, used to punch holes in a leather belt. The iron was red hot at the time and then flipped into a bucket of water. The two loops were bent nails. A very interesting day. I also like the textures, in the wood, used to build this storage shed. The iron works was modeled after a similar iron works in Wales, England. Zoom works to get a closer look at the textures.
Thanks for stopping by my gallery, taking a look and for all your previous favs and comments. They are very much appreciated.
