Blacksmithing Patience Forge

The bellows hissed like an old drum, a rhythm my hands have followed since childhood. While the steel sang, I traced the blade's edge, remembering how steady hands could turn a spark into a story. Today I experimented with a new alloy mix, noting how the tempering schedule changed its final hardness. It reminds me that patience is as much a craft as the hammer. #blacksmith #forge 🔥⚔️
