    If we want a fire guard, or a new bar for the kitchen, or a new leg for the best pair of snuffers or a new foot to the parlour fender Mr. Finucane can supply all these. You will hear him long before you come to the Church. All day long ding, ding, dong goes his hammer. The blazing fire and the bright sparks are very cheerfuls objects on a cold winter's day.
    A smith has to be very strong. It is a pleasure to see him handling his tools.
