Blacksmiths

Blacksmiths primarily work with metals, especially iron and steel, which they heat, shape, and forge into various tools, weapons, and decorative items. They may also use non-ferrous metals like copper, bronze, and aluminum for specific projects. Additionally, blacksmiths can incorporate other materials, such as wood or leather, for handles and fittings, complementing their metalwork.

Yes, it was common for blacksmiths in historical contexts to have young apprentices, often boys, who would learn the trade. These apprentices typically started around the age of 12 and would work under the guidance of the blacksmith, gaining skills in forging, shaping, and repairing metalwork. This apprenticeship system allowed blacksmiths to pass down their knowledge and craft to the next generation.

A blacksmith earned a bit more than a paid laborer, perhaps two to three times as much. This was typically 3 to 5 pence per day, which may not sound like much but was a living.

There jobs are to steal peoples money or kidnap there children.

Slaves possibly worked for blacksmiths in the southern US. There were blacksmiths all over the world who did not use slave labour.

That is a really hard question to answer.

It depends more on what branch of government that controls apprenticeships and what their rules and regulations say.

It would also depend if the apprenticeship board still recognizes blacksmithing as a trade.

That being said here is some information from the The Appalachian Blacksmiths Association about their standards for apprenticeships.
