The guys
who make the Hoes and Axes beside the road on the way to Grace always wave and
greet us when we drive past. The way they can actual forge steel with a plastic
bag and a pipe has been fascinating. We asked them to make some mini hoes and
axes for us to take home for souvenirs. They did a great job and made 2 of each
sort - 2 hoes, 2 axes and 2 adzes. All we have to do now is get them through
the Australian Customs. The guys even burnt ZAMBIA into the handles for them.
I hope the
video shows clearly what they are doing. My friend Joseph Obrien will be
fascinated by this Iron Age work.
When we put
our bags through the X-ray machine at Ndola airport the man came up to me and
asked “ Are you checking that bag?” when he saw all these weapons in the bag.
