Teaser #3 - cut03 - 30s - How to be The Devil's Blacksmith
Some of our colleagues might have heard about our previous blacksmith video project, The Devil’s Blacksmith, which we shot with Walfrid Huber, Austrian sculptor and artist blacksmith. Zoltán Takáts, Head of Hungarian Blacksmith Guild, artist blacksmith and Tamás Lehoczky, Hungarian filmmaker, made this film. We got so much attention and positive feedback for this project so far that we decided to continue our journey to preserve and conserve the deeper levels of this unique heritage.
Modern welding techniques are used exclusively in our field nowadays and there’s so little chance to preserve traditional forge welding for the future generation. Forge welding is one of the most stunning skills in our craft. You have to be familiar with this knowledge when working with historical styles or reconstruction projects, but it’s also a great technique when creating contemporary pieces.
The magnitude of what contributors will help us to achieve
By documenting this process we are not only preserving and conserving the theoretical and practical knowledge of forge welding, but also we would like to help our colleagues to be able to use this skill in everyday practice. You can be a professional or a hobbyist, there’s always a chance that you can deepen your knowledge and skills. Be part of Master Huber’s forge welding video tutorial! Help us reach our goal!
