Visit to the blacksmith shop - stuck at home virtual field trip

Описание: Due to a lack of opportunity for day camp programs, schools and home school students to get out and have field trips. I thought I would have a virtual visit to the blacksmith shop. The format and information is very similar to what I have done for school groups in the past.

My name is John Switzer, I operate Black Bear Forge, a small one person blacksmith shop located in southern Colorado. My current focus is shifting away from commissions and customer orders and towards education through these videos on YouTube. Thank you for watching
