The horseshoe is a traditional and certainly honorable craft. He is aged around 2000 years and has changed in that time what the actual technology itself, concerned, hardly. Representations from the Saxons in the mirror 11. Century show the operations, which are still carried out even in this kind of blacksmith. On the question remains as to whether the forging is an art, and hence the horseshoe are the ghosts. Judged an art, an old Danish book forging was not hard enough, but not art. We want to pan the book is not now but later it is a strange sentence. Perhaps the author does not know of the past, perhaps he never saw the perfection of a sword from the hand of a master, or did he never the divine in a perfect tool should look? Art is the transmission of the sensation of the divine element to the concrete world of man. In a picture of a cantata or a poem that is specifically expectant gaze of the creators of what he sees and how he handles it. And if the blacksmith was going on just now? His deepest and purest sense in incorporating the blade of a knife? Then there would not be a work whose form language compelled us to the admission that it is art?
While the honorable craft essentially always has to be a creative process, it keeps the work in the mere business stuck in all of creation is excluded because the workers only filled or emptied and the process itself can not determine everything. The blacksmith's anvil, be holy, because he can see him yourself, the machine is working his machine resources for the purpose of earning a living. The factory of modernity created by their need for regular routine of the worker, contrary to the tradition of the craft, whose work indeed in some cases, routine calls, but this in a different relationship to reality is. A blacksmith forged nails by hand and each of these nails is unique, because the feelings of the blacksmith are reflected in the work piece. In one factory, the sensation of the worker is the same thing, every nail is the same! No end a little thicker or thinner, no edge more round or square. In the modern result of the conflict between craft and machine work by the greed of the merchant and the consumer. Both merchant and consumer pull this together and, although it is not in their interest to change it and create a new level.
the honorable craft was since time immemorial, the principle, where two can be satisfied through work, are also two that work done, apply in this regard in a factory other laws. Where more can be produced with fewer workers, must happen, because the factory that has a root in the workshop, the other in the greed, no longer has internal structure that reflects the people and by the people is alienated and himself, where he relies on them entortet. Not so in the traditional Craft. The place is always the man, not the machine. It remains the master left to the rhythm of the work with the hand hammer to vote and vote a fellow of increases in the now lifting song of the forge. It appears from the will and skill of the master the song, from the need of the machine or the merchant, making the machine subservient. Hardly surprising
come from the Anglo-Saxon considering how the profit should be increased for farriers best. There are tools invented or adapted so that the farrier can also work quite alone, he does not need any more helpers. This is useful in times when the purchasing power in general markedly decreased, but at the same time it destroys social bonds, it undermines the principle of the old European Fides and returns it into the general felony, which now makes the rounds everywhere. When the master constraint is destroyed, there is a short-term effect, because of more "artists" can open very quickly a "deal" and there is a long-term effect is that social structures are destroyed and directed to the substitute consumption. Quite apart from making the bungling, even the largest of North America based business. You know, anyone can buy any tool at all, and even tinkering, whether he can or not is irrelevant because it does not comes to a tough plant. Later, the tools are getting cheaper self-produced, so that the resulting work is as fast-paced, as is his tool, too. There will be private bungling the new culture and promoted the general lack of culture.
