I was perusing a Facebook group for Blacksmith Shops around the world, and just like any trade/hobby, you have purists, the in-between's, and the moderns. This fellow is a purist where the only electricity used in the shop is for his ceiling lamp. What I found fascinating about this mans blacksmith shop, is he talks about the reason he chose a dirt floor for his shop. And it makes sense, man was made to walk on dirt, and he states that this floor is much easier on his feet and body. And there are other benefits as well, like a dropped piece of sandwich, just crush it into the dirt! One of the drawbacks is, he may sometimes drop wax coated iron on the floor, and the wax has to be removed and reapplied. I love a purist in hand work.
