Here is the last of a now archaic trade, which few are capable of performing and few still need. This film is a look at a blacksmith's work, his workship and his reminiscing clientele." - NFB Catalogue. The melting pot which is Canada absorbs all types of people, yet retains many forms of rugged individualism. An example is the man we meet in this film - Dick Hickey, blacksmith, homey product of the Ottawa Valley. In a world that has largely gone over to machines, the village blacksmith provides a link with the past; we listen in as Hickey goes about his work and shares with us his reflections about the old times and the blacksmith's craft. <8mn>Language:EnglishDetailed holdings information: -
