Blacksmith

A blacksmith is a craftsperson who forges and shapes metal, typically using tools like hammers, anvils, and tongs. They work primarily with iron and steel to create or repair items such as tools, horseshoes, gates, and decorative objects. The process often involves heating the metal until it’s malleable, then hammering or bending it into the desired shape before cooling and finishing. Blacksmithing is a traditional skill that combines craftsmanship, heating techniques, and precision to produce durable and functional metalwork.
