[QUOTE="Nightjar, post: 615863, member: 1414"] Seeing a blacksmith at work on a forge is amazing how they can join two pieces of steel together and finished on the anvil so that when it cools you can not see a join. Unfortunately some of the skills of the early tradesmen have been lost with their passing. It is a throw away world now and very little is repaired. Picked up a VW beetle that had been rolled years ago for zilch, was going to make it into a beach buggy until a new panel beater/painter neighbour moved in across the street. Over a few get to know one another beers he saw the Beetle and asked what I was going to do with it? When I told him he said, "You rebuild my Mini Cooper engine (parts supplied) and I'll have your battered VW looking like new." Which he did. Win win! [/QUOTE]
