North East blacksmiths forging metal for Ukrainian army

A group of blacksmiths based in north-east England are forging metal in aid of Ukrainian soldiers.

Hammer and Hound forge in Blyth has been tasked with forging 500 “log dogs” – large steel staples used to reinforce trenches.

Local companies have supported the forge’s effort by donating gas, coal and steel.

The forge owner said an international community of blacksmiths were using their skills to support Ukraine.
