No, not in colonial America anyway. All of the metal had to be hand hammered into shapes. Re-heated and cooled several times over. Because of this getting any kind of metal work done was mind blowingly expensive. In fact, when a family moved they would take all of their locks and doorknobs with them because often they were the most valuable things they had.
A farrier's job is very similar yet today. Talk with any 50 year old farrier and they will talk about their bad backs, scars from horses that didn't want their shoes and other terrible stresses of the job. The $300 an hour he makes though shoeing horses makes up for alot of troubles....
