A call went out to the village yesterday for some 'muscle' to help install a power hammer in the smiddy for Sean the blacksmith.
As ever volunteers arrived suitably kitted out and when the hammer was delivered by Ratho Byers Forge who had had it in storage until the location was ready, helped to guide the machine weighing over 1 ton into position onto a purpose built solid raft, made especially to provide a level surface and protect the listed flooring. Over 1 hour later all was complete and a traditional brew was provided. Many thanks again to all who took part in this efficient and well planned exercise.
