Blacksmithing Blacksmith

Origin of a blacksmith motto.?

The motto is, "By hammer and hand do all things stand." It may come from a 17th century UK poem, but im not sure. I think it has to do with welding or blacksmithing.
Thank you.

found this at this link by googling it......

"by hammer and hand all things do stand"

So, every time we looked up in Audels, my dad would begin by reading the motto there, "by hammer and hand all things do stand." Well, after a couple years I knew the ritual by heart and by the time his hand was up to the book on the shelf I could cut to the quick with: "begin in the east, by hammer and hand all things to stand." When I was thirteen I had arrived at that place in the east where the sun begins to rise, and I began making rather realistic pencil drawings and my dad said, "anyone who can draw like that becomes the woodcarver of the shop." I was used to doing what my dad told me to do, so I did become the woodcarver and when I was fifteen I carved a crest out of white oak for a fraternity down at the university. It was acclaimed by the client and by my dad as a "great work." I adapted and adopted the Audels motto as my own:

"By Hammer and Hand Great Works Do Stand"

Since then it has been my personal motto. Later, during some scholarly research, I was cut back down a notch when I "discovered" that the New York Mechanick Society had:

"By Hammer & Hand all Arts do Stand"

as their motto in the eighteenth century. In the mid-1990s I was contacted by a member of the still operating New York Mechanics Society, who wanted to know if I had permission to use their motto. I told him my story and he gave me permission to use my version of the motto.

As writing became a way for me to share what I know about old buildings, I added (the original, I think, but who knows):

hope this helps.

Two Awesome Ways To Effortlessly Become A Grand Master Blacksmith

So you want to know how to level your blacksmithing skill in a flash?

Tired of forging boring stuff for hours of end that no one wants to wear? I hear you loud and clear, it was the same for me until I discovered these three easy steps.

If you follow this WoW blacksmithing guide, you'll be crafting epics with the best and have a tidy stack of gold in the bank to boot!

Now, this step might seem a little crazy to you at first, I know it did to me. But the first thing you need to do is stop buying your ore from the auction house. I know, it's so tempting, you don't need to go anywhere and gather anything - but it costs a fortune. If you add up all the gold you spend on ore for your blacksmithing, you'll be shocked at how much you've spent in the end.

What you need to do is get mining as a secondary profession. It hardly takes any time to gather the ore you need, and you can sell the spares on the auction house yourself to some other lazy person!

Ok, so you've got mining, you've got your stacks of ore, but no one wants the stuff you're churning out. Don't bother trying to sell it on the auction house - what you need is an enchanter! Or, more specifically, a DISenchanter. The materials that come out of the stuff you're crafting are worth far more than the items themselves, and this will help get you a nice stockpile of gold for buying the awesome epic recipes you'll need later on.

See, blacksmithing is a bit like a term deposit. Put a bit of gold in now, and get a lot back later. Once you max it out super fast with these easy steps, you'll need to sink a bit of gold into getting the best recipes. But that's ok, because as soon as you know how to make them, you'll be in high demand, and let me tell you - people tip well for those craftables. If you can get hold of some Ulduar or ToC recipes, you'll be among the rich elite of the blacksmithing community, so that's what you should aim for.

Tired of banging that hammer in the forge and getting nowhere? This WoW blacksmithing guide will have you forging epics in no time!
