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.

Lovely image! Beautiful textures and detail. I like the perpendicular lines in the wood. Very interesting about the tool used to make the design in the latch. It must be great fun to see it done.
GREAT SHOT
Nice find I haven't seen one with such nice decoration before.
Wonderful detail photoshot Dana.
Great texture shot, I love the clash of the hard metal and the warm wood, with its earth tones. Great shot- thanks for sharing! :) And have you checked out the Photography Story Challenge? Go continue the story!
