Blacksmithing is when A blacksmith takes a piece of metal, usually iron or steel, and heats it up in their forge, usually until a reddish orangeish color or until it starts sparking if your going to weld peices together, and hits it with a hammer on the anvil until the desired shape, form or design. This is just the basic stuff there is a lot more to it. More info: Blacksmithing started thousands of years ago and they didnt use iron or steel but bronze. There are many types of blacksmiths, farriers(makes horseshoes), ones who specialized in weaponmaking such as swords and knives, they made tools, various things used around the house and much more.
