"Considered as the first ever factory in the world, blacksmithing remains to be a very important industry today. Blacksmiths are responsible in producing well-crafted, functional metals.

Blacksmith shops differ in size and lay-out and even complexities. Some may just have the basic furnishings while some shops may have modern or advance equipment. Nevertheless, whatever the design of a blacksmith zone, the very basic equipment and functions are the same.

The very most important part of a blacksmith zone is the forge. The forge is used to heat metals at very high temperatures. The process of heating metals is done to soften the metals for it to be shaped into some functional and useful objects. The most common type of forge is the coal fed forge.
Next to the forge is the bellows which are air pumps that are used to force air into the forge. The bellows are especially necessary in increasing the rate of fire to produce temperature. In most modern blacksmith shops, however, electric fans are being substituted for bellows because its speed can be controlled. The tool bench contains the tools used in manipulating metal forms. The tools typically consist of different tongs to handle metals and hammers to shape the metals."
