Not at all! Blacksmiths were honored and respected. They made valuable tools and repaired them, and the smith was an important man in the village.

Blacksmiths did simple work with iron. They made and repaired farm equipment and often took care of shoeing horses. They might have made swords and such things, but not commonly, because good quality military equipment was made by armorers.

A blacksmith... I guess :/
In the majority of cases they learned the skills from their fathers, uncles and grandfathers who passed on the knowledge that had been handed down to them. In the case of craftsmen, young peasants would be apprenticed for several years to learn the craft and become a craftsman themselves. This ranged from carpenter and saddler to blacksmith and cordwainer (a top-grade shoemaker).
You can't really become a blacksmith but there will be job openings for it occasionally where you could work as one.
