Скачать или смотреть The traditional craft of blacksmith hand-forging the handle of the tongs

This video captures a blacksmith forging a fire tong handle in his workshop.
In the video, you can see the craftsman placing a red-hot steel bar on an anvil and repeatedly hammering and bending it, gradually shaping the curved shape of the fire tong handle. The iron bar glows red, and the hammering is accompanied by a metallic crackle and flying sparks, creating a scene that is both tense and powerful. The workshop's simple surroundings, with blackened walls, exude the unique atmosphere of a traditional blacksmith's shop.

This practice not only reflects the skill and patience of traditional blacksmiths in crafting handmade tools, but also demonstrates how people rely on experience and wisdom to solve practical needs in their daily lives.

Additional Note: Fire tongs are essential tools in rural life, used for holding charcoal and moving firewood. They are extremely practical and embody a rich sense of life.

⚠️ Warm reminder: The forging process is extremely hot, accompanied by flying iron chips and sparks. Always wear protective gear when handling to avoid burns.
