Many, probably most, blacksmiths worked on the manorial estates. There is a lot of call for everything from horse shoes to scythe blades on the manors. The smithies were often at the edge of villages. There may have been smithies in towns, but finer work was done by people with a greater level of specialization that blacksmiths, and so the shops in town would tend to be of a different sort. For example, cutlers made spoons, knives, forks, and other kitchen and dining tools, and armorers made armor, swords, and arrow heads.

An apprentice to a village or town blacksmith would often come from the same village or town, so he would sleep at the family home where he had been raised.

A bellows blows air on to the fire. More air means that more oxygen is available to burn with the charcoal, coal or coke( The most common solid fuels for a blacksmith). The resulting fire burns hotter giving you the temperatures you need to soften the metal enough to shape it with a hammer.

Some blacksmiths might actually have dug their own ore, but they probably got most of their metals from miners, refiners, or metals traders. They did a lot of recycling in the Middle Ages also.

Blacksmiths worked primarily with iron. The ore originated as lumps of bog iron (deposited of iron oxides found in swamps and produced by biochemical or chemical activity) and as haematite ores. The Japanese process of collecting black iron oxides from sand was not practiced.

The ore was turned into metal by heating and hammering the ore to drive out the impurities leaving the iron behind. As a consequence the iron had a low carbon content. Iron was worked from these "blooms" into the finished items.

iron was a valuable commodity. A man might own only a few kilograms of iron - enough for a few knives, tools or a bit of armour. As consequence iron was recycled and reused as many times as possible.
