Smithing

► Show Spoiler

• The forge is where smithing occurs.
• Full, properly equipped forges will contain a gear driven blower operated by a crank as well as a hearth at least 18 in. wide, preferably somewhat larger.
• The forge will have a hood and chimney set-up for taking away the smoke.
• Anvils are of two general grades: cast iron and steel.
• A cast anvil has a dead sound while a steel one has a clear ring.
• The horn of the anvil is used for making bends and shaping curved pieces; and the flat face is used for general hammering.
• The flat depressed surface near the horn is the chipping block, and here all cutting with cold chisels and similar tools should be done, rather than on the face of the anvil.
• The round hole in the face of the anvil is used for punching holes. It is called the pritchel hole, taking its name from the sharp punch used by smiths in punching nail holes in horseshoes.
• The square hole in the face is called the hardy hole and is used for holding the hardy and other tools, such as swages and fullers.
• At least one or two pairs of tongs are a mainstay of a good forge. Tongs 18 to 20 in. long are a good size for average work.
• A blacksmith's hand hammer weighing 1 1/2 or 2 lb. and another weighing 3 or 3 1/2 lb. will handle all ordinary work very satisfactorily.
• There should be a hardy to fit the hole in the anvil, and there should be a fair assortment of chisels and punches. In most forges there are two specific types of chisels; a hot cutter and a cold cutter (large chisels with handles on them) for heavy cutting with a sledge hammer. There are also one or two large punches with handles on them for punching holes in hot metal.
• One vise can well serve for all metal work in the typical forge. A heavy blacksmith's steel-leg vise with jaws 4 to 5 in. wide the primary vice within a blacksmiths forge. A leg vise is one that has one leg extending down to be anchored or into the floor. Such a vise can be used for heavy hammering and bending.
• A small shovel and poker or rake will be needed for use on the forge fire. These are some of the easier tools to forge and are essential in operating a forge. A flat piece of heavy sheet iron about 3 or 4 in. wide by 4 or 5 in. long, riveted to a bar or rod for a handle, makes a good shovel. A 1/2-in. round rod,with an oblong eye in one end to serve as a handle and the other end flattened and curved, makes a good combination poker and rake.
• Some kind of metal rule will be needed for measuring and checking pieces being forged. A small steel square is very good for both measuring lengths and checking angles and bends. A wooden rule should not be used to measure hot iron. A caliper, or a caliper rule, for measuring diameter of rods and thickness of parts, although not a necessity, will be found very convenient in the blacksmithing process.
• Blacksmiths work by heating pieces of 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 coal, charcoal, or coke or in some rare instances, magic.
• Color is important for indicating the temperature and workability of the metal: As iron is heated to increasing temperatures, it first glows red, then orange, yellow, and finally white; then it melts.
• The ideal heat for most forging is the bright yellow-orange color appropriately known as a "forging heat." Because they must be able to see the glowing color of the metal, many blacksmiths work in dim, low-light conditions with only nearby fires to illuminate their workspace.
• The various techniques of smithing may be divided into forging or sculpting, welding, heat treating, and finishing.
• Forging is the process in which metal is shaped by hammering. Even punching and cutting operations (except when trimming waste) by smiths will usually re-arrange metal around the hole, rather than removing it altogether. As a part of forging, there are five basic operations. These are: drawing, shrinking, bending, upsetting and punching. In addition to a number of other specialized tools, the five basic operations are done with a hammer and anvil.
