Blacksmith Forged Wrought Iron Dividers

Blacksmith Jennifer Petrila forges wrought iron dividers at the Moses Wilder blacksmith shop in Bolton, Mass. Starting with an illustration from a pattern book, Jennifer crafts the dividers from wrought iron stock and an old rasp to create a traditional dual wing, double joint divider.
The book is available on Amazon: a.co/d/0Huk5qs

This young lady has to be my favorite blacksmith. She’s so effective at the anvil.

We thank Jennifer Petrilla for her skill and ability to show others how the process is completed. Thanks to Bob Roemer for making the recreated Moses Wilder Blacksmith shop available for the filming and to Marc Sitkin for filming and producing the film along with Bob Roemer. Good job!

What a very enjoyable video! Wow! You have a very nicely setup smithy, your belows! Wow! Wish I could make one like that.
You work with vigor and enthusiasm, your talk time matches your forging time. You talk like a pro and your video quality is exceptionally good.
Of all the many many blacksmithing vids I've seen, your's is one of the best. I've learned a lot from you today. Very nice tool you've made. Wow again! Greetings from Philip Roux in South Africa
