Blacksmith with Electricity? what is this thing called "electricity"?
Not only smiths, but we also have a working tin shop, cabinet making shop, shoe shop, carding mill, grist mill. And women's trades too.
Not just teaching, but also having the strength and endurance to control it that way. I don't have enough to go for more than just a few blows holding it at the end; choking up is one way to deal with that. Much less effective, wasted effort in the long run, but better than losing control of the hammer!It amuses me to watch one of those blacksmiths working but he is gripping the hammer about 3" from the head. This guy has been taught the right way.
