<description><![CDATA[ (May 7, 2012) This week, we&apos;re continuing our conversations with artisans in the North Country who do traditional work. These are industries, and skills, that have been a way of life in our region for a century and more. This morning, we visit a forge operated by blacksmith John Scarlett in Rossie for thirty years.

<title>The timeless trade of blacksmithing</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/16180/20100824/the-timeless-trade-of-blacksmithing</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Aug 24, 2010) Some trades change all the time: new tools, new techniques, new materials.  Others hardly change at all. That&apos;s something Robert Vaughn likes about being a blacksmith.  He&apos;s pretty sure he could trade places with a smith from Roman times, and neither one would get lost working at the other&apos;s forge.  Lucy Martin spoke with Vaughn as he hand-pumped double bellows to heat coals at a heritage event in Ottawa.

<title>Digging into Parishville&apos;s History</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/4785/20040924/digging-into-parishville-apos-s-history</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Sep 24, 2004) A team of historians from the New York State Museum has uncovered a blacksmith&apos;s shop and wagon shop in St. Lawrence County.  The tiny hamlet of Parishville Center has been a hotbed of historical research this summer.  Archaeologists have unearthed horseshoes, nails and the fragment of a clay pipe.  Nothing earth-shattering, but project leader Marty Pickands told Todd Moe that finding the remains of a 19th century frontier blacksmith&apos;s shop is intriguing.  Pickands says two centuries ago, Parishville Center was a small industrial site.
