A Day at the Forge

96 minutes - actual typical work of a 1940s blacksmith, filimed in the 1980s at the end of his career, featuring a wide range of repairs, fabrications, and also the social life revolving 'round the forge' with songs, music,recitations and stories..
Beautifully filimed in County Galway, this is an authentic record of the varied daily life of one of the last blacksmiths in Ireland. It features work on the cartwheel, sheepcrook, and other implements in common use in the past, repair of household items, horseshoeing, and a wonderful parade of horse-drawn machines for hay mowing and turning, crop spraying, and so on.

This is the type of music we would hear as young lands when my brothers and I brought Henry Gordon's finest hunters and race houses into the forge in Cong many years ago, the forge in Cong has got a large natural stone door opening in the shape of a horseshoe with nails imprinted in the design, it is a beauty to behold. It should be protected as a national treasure. When Henry Gordon's thoroughbred horses were all should up and ready to go hunting, my brothers and I would jump on both those tall houses bareback and gallop off through the high of Cong, pasting through where the Quitman film was made as we saluted John Wane and Maureen O Hara. I would live to see a short video or a few photos of us 7 wild kids riding those Beautyful horses down the road as we headed out west

You guys ever get anything in your eyes. Scale? Fly ash?

Those guys probably did, but not a lot.
