Why blacksmithing?

Thoughts about why one would forge.
About me:
Hi! My name is Philip and one of the people behind Lufolk. I have always been interested in the simple things in life. When I look back on history I get inspired and fascinated by the people who came up with all the smart solutions to make our everyday life easier. What you can accomplish with a few tools and great skills is impressive. The first time I got that feeling: I made this! This will be useful! Was when I made a wooden spoon as a kid. And think that was the start, I have ever since been interested in making things.

Your openness is an asset to both you and your channel. I rarely offer advice, but in my later years I feel somewhat qualified. I recently retired from a career mostly spent behind a desk, or directing others at construction sites. Retirement brought me the “luxury” of following my heart, providing me with an opportunity to express my creativity. I’ve admired blacksmiths from an early age, and decided to pursue the craft. I find it satisfying. My advice to you is; follow your heart from as early an age as possible. You will never be disappointed with how you spent your life.
