A furnace or hearth where metals are heated or wrought; a smithy.
A basic smithy contains a forge, sometimes called a hearth for heating the metals,
commonly iron or steel to a temperature where the metal becomes malleable, or to
a temperature where work hardening ceases to accumulate, an anvil to lay the
metal pieces on while hammering, and a slack tub to rapidly cool, and thus harden,
forged metal pieces in. Tools include tongs to hold the hot metal, and hammers to
strike the hot metal.
Below are samples of forges in Vern's studio.....
