Those of us of “a certain age” will reminisce from time to time about the trades and crafts that were common in years, and sometimes centuries, past, but no longer seem to exist.
One such trade is that of blacksmithing, so when I met 17-year-old Calvin Ullrich selling his wares at a market stall and discovered he was a blacksmith, I knew this was a story that had to be told.
I love this story and enjoy hearing Calvin’s enthusiasm for this ancient trade. It was inspiring just to watch him at work on his home-made forge and to be reminded that with patience, enthusiasm and a “can-do” spirit, what is old can become new again.
