BLACKSMITH The term "blacksmith" comes from the activity of "forging" iron or the "black" metal, namely iron as opposed to the "white" metals such as tin, silver or gold; "black metal" so named due to the color of the metal after being heated. The term "forging" means to shape metal by heating and hammering. "Smith" is from the Proto-German "smithaz" meaning "skilled worker" or "craftsman." Not only did Blacksmiths create armour and weapons, but they were also responsible for producing objects such as gates, grilles, railings, nails, candle lamps and fixtures, cooking and eating utensils, tools, furniture, agricultural equipment, jewelry, and decorative and religious items. In Medieval times, a "village smithy" was a staple of every town.

THE CLIP: Forging is the process in which metal is shaped by hammering. Forging is different from machining in that material is not removed by it; rather the iron is hammered into shape. Even punching and cutting operations (except when trimming waste) by smiths will usually re-arrange metal around the hole, rather than drilling it out as swarf. The above clip was a wonderful find at youtube, and if you have a moment or two, watch a skilled blacksmith forge a beautiful Rams head Poker from a white hot piece of steel. A wonderful account of a truly inspiring craft of ages, this blacksmith is certain to make you look at these hand made works of iron with new eyes and appreciation.
