I have done alot of smithing, esp knives Great fun but a damn hard way to make any money I have tremendous admiration for anyone who can make a living at it
Comment from : @Joe-d4h3s

As a hobby blacksmith, I can definitely say with an unbiased opinion that blacksmiths are the most important job in human history

Though I can't do much in real life but cook I do love crafting in games Skyrim in particular rewards repetitive making of simple things with the ability to make more complicated ones Players laugh that making hundreds of simple daggers raises your skill, not realizing that's how you learn stuff like that in real life At least in the game you never have an unsellable failure lol

Comment from : @P_4BKM77

This is true for welding nowadays, welding builds all of the machines that build everything, from industrial metal presses to forks, without welding we'd go back to the stone age in only a couple of years

You could say that every job is the most important Without a farmer there is no food and without food nobody can work, same goes for miners,builders, etc

Comment from : @jakeoreilly9627

I would have to agree but unfortunately my grandfather and father were made to feel bad for their work as smiths in East Africa We are very proud of our Tumaal (Blacksmith) tribe who are stigmatized for this beautiful skill god had blessed them with and sad we couldn’t ask for information directly from our grandfather Our father is still opening up to the idea of sharing information and we can tell he just wants to protect us but is happy we are proud of our history

I am a bladesmith, learning the blacksmith stuff Bladesmiths are to blacksmiths like grade 12 to university Much respect to the Blacksmiths of old and now too really Incredible stuff

Absolutely 💯
Comment from : @teresaholland4790

I think you're right! I'm curious what the modern day equivalent (of the most valuable job in the world) would be - perhaps someone who combined all of the following: "blacksmith/welder/machinist/engineer/metallurgist/material scientist"? What do you think?br(To the author, I love this channel - it's so informative and I think relevant even today! It's a good thing to know this kind of material! Thank you so kindly for posting!)

The Blacksmith and the Baker were EASILY the most valuable people in town Huntsmen too
Comment from : @Rodiroess

biYou can imagine the quality and skills the old Blacksmiths had from a simple example The 400 yrs old Cannons are still in good shape, but the new ones are getting rusted within 20yrs of span or so Hats off to the Old Blacksmiths/i/b
Comment from : @Ironman1234-z1z

You did some of your own smithing to build your cabin Would early settlers have had some basic smithing skills or would they have been completely reliant on a trained blacksmith?
Comment from : @Mamaazhiiwe

Respectfully, Jamie is wrong about wrought iron, though it is a very commonly held belief the way he explained itbrActual wrought iron is made in a puddling furnace
Comment from : @stimpsonjcat67

$@fractode$

There's another reason some folks liked the blacksmith I remember visiting the Maine Maritime Museum in Bath, several years ago It was in the summer, but as I stood in the blacksmith's shop all I could think of is how great it would have been to have been the smith's best pal in the dead of Maine winter! 👍

We should bring back more apprenticeships instead of going through school, college, wasting a quarter of your life not learning anything and getting into debt Many if not most careers don’t really need so much school You’re better off learning on the job
Comment from : @VadeInSpiritu

Explains how "Smith" and it's variants (such as mine, which is French for "the farrier, aka smith")
Comment from : @oldmanjim2376

You’re damn right in Blacksmith was the most important job Without the Blacksmith, you don’t have civilization at all You may as well be throwing rocks, and rubbing two sticks together

Comment from : @zombie_snax

A few years back I read a piece that suggested that a lack of iron is one of the things that did in the Norse settlements in Greenland Obviously, before the Townsend time period, but a good example of how important iron was to the European lifestyle

I drive through Limestone every day, between Greeneville and Johnson City It’s cool to see a smith from there appearing on your channel
Comment from : @immortalmecha8770

I would love to do metalwork and blacksmithing as my job However in todays society unless you live in a rural environment it isn’t a sustainable job unless you make art
Comment from : @jedell

My sixth generation grandfather Jesse Joshua Reynolds was a Blacksmith in Marshal County Kentucky in the late 1700`s and early 1800`s He married Mary Henson and owned over 400 acres of land what is now part of Kentucky Lake His sons owned over 400 acres in Metropolis, Illinois and became corn farmers Now I am a journeyman Aerospace machinist and I know my ancestors and I will have a lot to talk about
