In the middle of my workshop, the anvil is the first remarkable thing.

It sits on its crimped wooden block, through a lead sheet which moderates its music.
It is the essential element for the metal work, but it's also more than a tool,
it's my fellow worker and even my friend ...

To work, I need the four elements :

Fire, which is going to help me to make the metal live, by giving it the choosen form

 

The air to make the flame live and to control it

The water, to cool the metal, to freeze its form, and to reinforce it with the quenching phenomenon

 

And, last, the earth to allow me to anchor my feet to hammer, twist
and solder the pieces of metal to obtain the final object.

the earth which gives stability.
The Earth that anyone must respect for the future generations be able to go on wondering us.
