From page six
Although he once did all kinds of blacksmith and carpentry work, Selzer said he now limits himself to sharpening plowshares and repairing tractors.

Selzer said his father and he once did as many as 50 plowshares a day, at 35 cents each. Now, he doesn't do that many, but he buys 15 cents an hour for 15 minutes, and earns $1.50 for each effort.
SELZER CRUMPLED a yellow copy of the Lawrence Daily Journal-Landmark and it lit up the room, having placed it under some coal in a large, round, canopied stove. As the coal began smoldering, Selzer quickly began turning a fire air to the fire from underneath.
He pointed to several pieces of coal chimney together. "That's what the fireman could be said."
As the fire blazed, the smoke cleared,
but the smokey good coal left little smoke after
the ashes.
Selzer wiped his forehead, and stripped away his greasy jacket.
Thick smoke filled the room. Sunlight filtering through holes and cracks in the roof and walls became hundreds of bright beams that illuminated a faint. A thin layer of sootell on every wain.
"I can tell by the look of the fire what it's doing," he said.
HE STOKED THE burning coal without fear.

--touched it to my face, it would burn me." Selzer took a round piece of steel and bounced it on a large anvil. The steel pealed loudly.
"When it's about a hundred outside in the sun, it gets mighty hot here. 'Delerer said, 'We're here.'"
"THAT AINT tooled steel," I can tell by it, the aid, burying the steel under the laumier's feet.
Sezler said when he tempered steel, he first heated it, then touched the hot metal to water. As each color of the rainbow appears in succession, he simply chooses the color that corresponds to the temper he wants, then douzes the metal in water to cool it.
Selzer check the stove and removed the piece of steel. It was bright red.
my front pocket, and it get so hot if I touched it to my face, it would burn me."
"I always work steel when it cherry red—no hotter, no colder," he said, grabbing a six-pound hammer and placing the bolt on a 58-year-old Sears and Roebuck avail.
THE ROOM filled with echoes after each blow to the metal. Sparks flew as Selzer pounded the edge of the metal to a sharp point.
Selzer threw the metal aside impatiently and grabbed a plowshaper, immerging it in
Several minutes later, he pulled out the glowing plowshare and walked to a 100-year-old trip hammer. When he switched it on, an iron driver slammed down on a platform in rapid succession. Selzer steamed his plate, setting the machine, letting the hammer mold a sharp edge for him. He shook with each percussion of the machine.
"You have to do this by feel," he said. "If
Advanced Building Studies Graduate Multidisciplinary Programs
The program is designed to prepare future leaders in the building industry for opportunities of advanced practices which emerge in large architectural and engineering firms, construction firms, real property development and management organizations which concern themselves with building related products, and various local, state and national government agencies concerned with regulation or management of the built environment.
PURPOSE - The program provides advanced training in planning, design, construction and operation of the built environment, by considering the interrelated esthetic, technological, financial and managerial aspects of building problems, embedded in a systems approach. The program integrates methods, knowledge and techniques which address problems of building traditionally fragmented approaches to design of the built environment.

you get the metal in there wrong, the machine will take it and throw it across the table.
SELZER LAID the plowshare down to cool, then picked up a broken pipe. He said he could焊 the pieces and they'd be as strong as before.
"When I take those out of the forge, they're gonna throw sparkles all over. Then I'll stick them together and they'll stay. Nothing beat forging if it's done right."
Not all blacksmiths do it right, however. "I don't know one young person who knows how to do this," Selzer said. "Even my own nephew don't know about some of this stuff."
SELZER SAID he could remember times when students had taken blacksmithing
classes came to him and were surprised at their lack of knowledge. One even tried to start a fire with clinkers, or coal residue, he said.
SELZER PUSHED open a creaky door
SELZER PUSHED open have been the living room of the old house.
More large tools basked in the sunlight coming through caved-in segments of the roof. An energy wheel for smoothing metal, a laft for casting metal and a saw oak floor. A wall with moldings, filings, sawdust and clothes covered the floor. The walls were lined with metal stenicts, old wagon parts, yellowed ledger books and almost every kind of mechanical device.
