Medieval Blacksmithing: The Art of Fire and Metal
Medieval blacksmithing was one of the most essential and admired professions of the Middle Ages. Blacksmiths were responsible for forging tools, weapons, armor, and utensils, employing techniques that combined precision, strength, and skill. Their work not only sustained everyday life but also fueled the military and economic advancements of the time.
Medieval Blacksmithing Tools
The blacksmith's trade required a series of specialized tools for working metal. Among the most notable were:
- Forging hammers: Essential tools for shaping red-hot metal.
- Tongs: Used to hold hot pieces during the forging process.
- Anvils: Solid surfaces for precisely shaping metal.
- Bellows: Key instruments for stoking the fire and reaching high temperatures.
