Cantrell is shown heating metal in the coals and has a hammer ready to go to work on the anvil. Cantrell was one of the first students at the Folk School, became the resident blacksmith about 1928-1929 and also fixed tools and machinery. Cantrell stayed involved with the school until his death in the early 1990's. |
