My dad is a blacksmith

Een Engels clipje over het beroep smid — Jimmy’s father is a blacksmith. He shapes pieces of metal into all kinds of things, like a horseshoe. — My Dad does Blacksmithing and Farriering. You have to be able to work in intense heat with the fire on and all that and with heavy tools and with the heavy apron on. It’s tough going but Dad is strong and probably used to it. Your hand would probably get tired after a while but it’s very good seeing the metal being shaped into the perfect shape and seeing it come from a straight bit of metal into whatever bendy or flashy bit of metal or a horseshoe or anything like that. Dad doesn’t really let me do that much blacksmith because its dangerous work but he teaches me bits and bobs every now and again.
