Bulldog & LadyMinted
Hey Bulldog, ever taken a look at the way old blacksmiths hammered out those iron horseshoes and swords? I find the precise rhythm and the subtle variations in the metal so fascinating—like a silent conversation between the tool and the craftsperson. What do you think about the balance of strength and skill in that kind of work?
Blacksmiths get it right when they can make the hammer hit just so. It’s all about feel and muscle memory, not fancy math. A good hand can turn a lump of iron into a thing that’s both tough and useful. That’s the kind of skill that sticks with you.
