The Metal Forge

A metal forge is a specialized machine or heated environment used to shape and work with metal by heating it until it becomes malleable. The forge heats metals like iron or steel to high temperatures, making them easier to hammer, bend, or mold into desired forms. It’s essential in blacksmithing and metalworking industries for crafting tools, hardware, and artistic pieces. By controlling the temperature and sometimes adding controlled cooling, the forge allows precise shaping and modification of metals, ensuring strength and durability in the finished product.
