Was skills for blacksmithing, Now Boy Scouts and blacksmithing

Yep, blacksmithing is very popular with Boy Scouts. Last year a living history group I am a part of (SCA) set up a demo for the local district spring camporee, setting up about a dozen stations. Myself and a couple of other BAM members brought our forges for the blacksmit station. The troops did each of the stations in a round-robin style.We had each troop for about 30 minutes, so not much time. We would pass around the tongs and hammers, talk about what it was like to be a blacksmith in the middle-ages and such. Then I would start talking to the boys about the techniques that blacksmiths used as I demonstrated some of them. In the end each troop ended up with an S-hook they watched me make from start to finish. The guys had about a gazillion questions and didn't want to leave. There is something about the ring of an anvil that draws boys, like a moth to a flame.
