Often simple is the best way. This Zambian blacksmith is using hand-tanned antelope skins over baked clay pots, tied on with bicycle tube rubber for an air supply. His forge is natural clay, and the charcoal is homemade, some of it on-the-fly around the edges of his forge. The large sledgehammer in the lower left is the anvil and the steel hammerhead just behind and left is the hammer. Though he owns but a few tools, his skills are true and his patient work is able to keep the town functioning.
