I'm thankful that some of this history was captured on film. I wish there was more.
God bless that chap. That was back when people took pride in their craftsmanship and manual labour. Britain was built on these true treasures!
Superb video. These spry old tough guys are treasures and they always say something hilarious.
That's my Great Grandfather. I'm lucky enough to still have the fireplace tongs he built in his Forge and I still use them today among other things lots of horseshoes had a big copper bucket for the wood to sit in

It must be really special to be able to hear your ancester`s voice and see what he was like. I can`t even remember my father`s voice...
Amazing!
Wow... how amazing and heartwarming and impressive. I wonder how long he kept at it?
What a legend
Fantastic! I knew Guinness was good for you!
As fit as the horses he made shoes for!
