The Blacksmith Shop modelled here is based on a turn of the century (1800 - 1900) blacksmith shop at the Western Development Museum in North Battleford, Saskatchewan, Canada.
The blacksmith sharpened plowshares, replaced horseshoes, repaired wheels and shaped metals, usually iron, into a variety of equipment. Metal was heated in a forge where bellows forced air through the fire to heat the iron. Tongs were used to hold the malleable, red-hot item on the anvil while the blacksmith hammered it into the desired shape with his sledge. It was then plunged into a nearby tank of water to cool and harden. Polys 588.
