Iron Smelting with Jake Keen
This is an excellent video segment (posted on YouTube) featuring Jake Keen. Jake is from the UK, but I have been able to work alongside him on three occasions: Early Iron 2 (2005), Smeltfest 2008, and the recent Heltborg symposium. At that event Jake and his friend Michael built and fired a huge early Iron Age beehive furnace. (check the report HERE. )
