Tickfaw, La. -
It's a trade that has been around since before medieval times. Just a century ago, every city and farm town in America had a village blacksmith. You might be surprised to know that blacksmithing is still being passed from one generation to the next. FOX 8's Dave McNamara takes us to an old fashioned blacksmith shop in the Tangipahoa Parish town of Tickfaw in this edition of heart of Louisiana.
"The fire's not quite ready yet but it won't be long," Jim Jenkins tells us.
