Bring Your Own Anvil
Are you a licensed Blacksmith? Looking to rent, or even buy, your own smithy? Well, if so, this could be your lucky day because no one is currently using the old forge at Stadsberga in rural Haninge.
It would seem to me that blacksmithing in Sweden would be a good craft that also keeps you warm. Although this studio looks like it has been "air conditioned".
The building is probably beyond repair but your post reminded me of my school days (high school) where we did some metal working. All I remember is a lot of heat, red-hot pieces of iron, and we'd pound them until they resembled a stick or something like that! ;)

ReplyDeleteLooks like the place could use some work before anyone goes to work!

ReplyDeleteNice shot of a beautiful little building! Too bad it's so decrepit.
ReplyDeleteIt may not be usable any more Steffe but by golly it's photogenic!
