The Blacksmith
The origins of the Blacksmith trade are very old.
Historians think that the first blacksmiths were smelter and generally experts in the steel industry.
In Latin, the word for blacksmith was Faber, which means to make; later, the word turned to have a new meaning that is someone who creates objects from iron by forging the metal.
In the ancient times, the blacksmiths were highly appreciated.
They used to work the steel in the villages and in the castles and the guild considered the blacksmithing part of the most important arts.
Blacksmiths worked by heating pieces of wrought iron or steel until the metal becomes soft enough for shaping with hand tools for every of its application.
