Now, another game to test the strength and endurance of the strong men of the village.
[00:44:05]
Now, they pull on each other's fingers until a mighty champion emerges.
[00:44:11]
In Austria, they certainly must have strong, sore fingers.
[00:44:18]
{LAUGHTER FOLLOWED BY SILENCE}
[00:44:31]
By the end of the festive day, even the balloons have joined in for some dancing,
[00:44:38]
and after all the excitement of the festival we found a peaceful, quiet inn in one of the most beautiful settings possible.
[00:44:45]
This is just outside the town of Kitzbühel , which you'll see later on in the film.
[00:44:51]
{SILENCE}
[00:44:53]
Also on the outskirts is this 400 year old house.
[00:44:57]
This is without a doubt, one of the most beautiful of the typical Tyrolean houses.
[00:45:01]
And it's here that Joseph Eenfeldt, a well-known wrought-iron artistan lives and works.
[00:45:08]
{SILENCE}
[00:45:10]
To the left of his door in wrought-iron is his name and occupation, Joseph Eenfeldt, [[?]].
[00:45:16]
Early every morning he goes from one section of his house where he lives with his family, to the other where his workshop is.
[00:45:23]
And here, the steady sound of his hammer can be heard all day long, and has been for some time.
[00:45:28]
As he's proud to say how he's been doing this work for over 65 years.
[00:45:34]
{SILENCE}
[00:45:37]
He explains some of the steps in making his pieces.
[00:45:40]
First, the fire where he softens the iron.
[00:45:44]
Don't you wonder how he manages to keep that long beard working so close to the fire?
[00:45:51]
{SILENCE}
[00:45:53]
Then the shaping, with the hammer, later by machine. It's power really smoothing it out.
[00:45:59]

[00:46:01]
The blow torch is applied to make the paint adhere permanently, and it also makes it stainless.
