Blacksmith


I am probably the most sensitive-to-noise person in the world but somehow, the sound of honest work isn't nearly as bad as, for example, someone listening to Radio 2 in the next room. This power hammer gets busy right underneath my workshop. Just as dirt is just misplaced soil, noise is misplaced or inconsiderate sound.
It's not the 'size' that matters. A tiny but persistent repeated electronic beep will stop me working, but this thundering I can tolerate. (As long as it doesn't go on for days).
