Ted Hinman demonstrates medieval blacksmithing on a handmade two single-chambered bellows attached to a seesaw-style lever based upon manuscripts of blacksmiths at work in the High Middle Ages. The anvil was handmade based on a Roman-style anvil. The hammer being used is authentic to the Viking Age and the Middle Ages. Everything here was made by Ted Hinman. This demonstration was given at The Grammar School Medieval Faire in Putney, Vermont.
