New Tools for a Ghana Blacksmith

Hello!
My name is Tommy (FluffehTaco ) and I am a blacksmith from Texas and I'm raising money for my friend Isaac (Hertic_Blacksmithing) who lives in Ghana, West Africa. Isaac relies on very primitive blacksmithing tools and techniques to make his money, he wants to get modern machinery to increase profit and efficiency of his blacksmith shop, unfortunately money for him is hard to come by, this is why I created this gofundme for him. Any support is very appreciated, from donations to sharing this page. Thanks and have a great day.

Below are pictures taken by Isaac of what tools he makes and his equipment.


Above, Clay forge! This kind of forge was the first introduce to Ghanian blacksmith industry. It always need daily cleaning by using some of the wet clay in the form of dilute paint to paint the surface of it to prevent it from breaking.

Below, This is our traditional musical tool, called in our local language (Dero) which is use in the church, the town crier use this instrument to send information to the people in the community and it is also used by the native doctor in the shrine to invoke the spirit of the gods, a piece of stick is used to beat the metal can (Dero) Ghana has a rich culture and interesting history to tell.


Below, are crowbars that Isaac makes daily for customers.
