I was beginning to think that photography wasn't allowed in this group. Thanks for the comment. After visiting the blacksmith yesterday, I knew I had a winner. My wife did her own photo-shoot as she is going to do a painting from the images. Whenever she does a photo-shoot for a paining, I come along and do my own. One day, I might even do a "behind the scenes" show based on my tagging along. |

Checking, I see the nearest blacksmith to Orlando is up in Ocala. Much of the work done by a blacksmith would be done in a welding shop here. http://www.mapquest.com/maps?cat=Blacksmiths&state=FL We have a third generation blacksmith in the Paso Robles area, and several farriers. These days only a handful of farriers run their own forges and use commercial mass produced shoes. We have at least two farriers around here who have a mobile trailer mounted workshop and forge. http://www.legacyforgesmithing.com Also, not every blacksmith can be considered a farrier these days. http://americanfarriers.org/certification/ -- Regards, Savageduck |

Like burglar bars, but done decoratively. The custom has spread to Florida, and ironwork is common on houses in the Hispanic areas. Ironwork, pastel-colored houses, and grottos in the yard. Not as many here as in South Florida or Tampa, but - still - a lot. It's welders, not blacksmiths, that create this ironwork here but I guess they use a forge to bend the ironwork. Ture, but if you go a bit South to West Palm, you will find that black****ming is a good business. (That's horse country.) One day I'll have to do a photo series on these neighborhoods. I'll probably be able to include some tricked out cars, too. I'm in the middle of such a series in Sanannah. In the early days that city imposed a tax on doors, so the used wide elaborate windows on the upper floors for entrance to balconies. -- PeterN |

The polo set in WPB is not going to use anything but a specialist. Of course. But blacksmiths make the shoes. I am not certain whether its mechanized shoe making, or custom. IIRC there is also a blacksmith shop in that area that makes custom iron gateways, & furniture. -- PeterN |
