A friend from Maine sent this video link to me and I thought some would find it interesting. It was filmed in 1965 just before the shop closed. http://www.youtube.c...h?v=Qr4VTCwEfko

Great video, thanks for posting it Larry!
Larry, that was wonderful. I loved the heat treating method, just pulling it from the brine in time. And before that, lighting the corncob pipe off of the blazing axe head.....that's when men were men.

This is another interesting video of the forging process although I wish they would have shown the heat treating process they use. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E89nlVmPeeU

Great video Larry, I really enjoy these older ones. There is so much to be learned from the rich industrial history of this country.
