Description
Another HDR image from Blists Hill showing the Blacksmiths Shop.
The tradition goes back eons of time, but the term is derived Blacksmiths work with iron, the 'black' metal, and sometimes steel, its derivative.
The black color comes from fire scale, a layer of oxides that forms on the surface of the metal during heating. The term 'smith' originates from the word 'smite', which means 'to hit'. Thus, a blacksmith is a person who smites black metal.
Blacksmiths work by heating pieces of wrought iron or steel until the metal becomes soft enough to be shaped with hand tools, such as a hammer, anvil and chisel. Heating is accomplished by the use of a forge fueled by propane, natural gas, coal, charcoal, or coke.
