The tools called a hammer and an anvil would be found in a blacksmith's shop.
The bones called the hammer and the anvil are found in the middle ear.
That is called an ANVIL and most blacksmiths would have had at least 3 of them.
Basically farmers have to plant lot of trees at the boundary of their field (specially neem trees).its roots will hold the soil properly and prevent its erosion.
There are two major causes of erosion, wind and water. While wind erosion is fairly well addressed by windbreaks, reducing water caused erosion requires leaving land covered. The impact of rain drops is the primary caused of soil particle detachment. Leaving crop residue on the surface breaks this impact. Cover crops also help by providing cover and feeding soil life. In healthy soils microbes add naturally sticky substances that help improve the stability of soils; they glue the particles together. The best way to get both the residue coverage and microbial glues is to totally eliminate tillage of the soil. Called no till agriculture, this system plants through crop residues with minimal disturbance. As soil health improves, the soils are able to absorb more water, further reducing erosion.
Iron when heated past 650 degrees Fahrenheit forms in the the presents of oxgen a black scale iron oxide.
All trades depended on the blacksmith. One surprising trade that depended on the blacksmith is the milliner, but the milliner needed a manikin and a post to stabilize the manikin. That came from the blacksmith!

Yes, some would work shoeing horses and making various farming tools and should war come (Which is most often did) kings or various nobility would place a commission for a certain number of weapons (IE: we need 50 swords forged, you will get half your payment to get the materials to get started and half once we've received the weapons) Blacksmiths also forged armor quite often, in fact some kings would pay fortunes for a good blacksmith's talents in forging his army's gear or to teach others the craft, if not both, in these cases they would probably be forging almost nothing but weapons, armor and shoes for horses and other various goods for the king.
In medieval times the blacksmith worked at the place where the product was needed. They would not generally make something in one town for sale in another town. They would make it in the town where they would sell it. If you brought your horse to the blacksmith's shop for a horseshoe, he would make it and put it on your horse.
To cool the item they have just shaped in a very hot oven. This also tempers the metal adding strength and to make it less brittle.
For an amateur blacksmith a good place to buy a forge would be at the website of Centaur Forge. It is possible to buy a forge for between $700 and $800. There are also usually a number of blacksmith tools advertised on eBay from time to time and a forge might also be found there.
