Blacksmiths

Once the Railroad Company at Baltimore and Ohio began to hurt due to the depression, wages were cut by 10% causing the Railroad Strike of 1877 to occur, preventing the flow of trains. This was the beginning of the formation of Labor Unions, and showed the power of employers. It also increased the public awareness of the grievances of railroad workers. This was the first strike that needed government intervention, which was sent by President Hayes to end it. As a result, the company passes Employees' Relief Association, which covered such things as sickness, injury from accident, and a death benefit. The company also became the first to offer a pension plan in 1884.
This may have been little success towards the Labor Unions, but such things as Homestead strike of 1892 proved there was little success. This strike started when Henry Clay Frick cut wages by 22% at the Carnegie Steel Plant. This then lead to a five-month lockout on June 30, 1892 in attempt of management defeating steelworkers. Scabs were used by the Carnegie Steel Company in order to keep the plant running, and ruin the chance of the Labor Unions gaining a victory. This strike may have been very violent, but it was well organized. Overall, this strike was unsuccessful for the Labor Unions because the workers were taken out of the steel plants. For the ones who went back to work, they were forced to sign a Yellow Dog Contract. Workers agreeing to not join Labor Unions used this contract to prevent the formation of Unions. If they got caught, they would be blacklisted and their names would be given to employers, enabling it hard for those workers to seek employment again. This prevented workers from joining Labor Unions.
As wages were being cut in other companies such as the Pullman Company, workers were beginning to become perturbed. Employees worked with Eugene Debs in the American Railroad Union, and launched a boycott, which resulted in a lockout. They also directed railroad workers to not handle any trains with Pullman cars. Railroad owners supported Pullman, and linked mail trains to Pullman cars. Federal Court then stepped in created the court case known as In re Debs. This case gave the government the right to regulate interstate commerce, and ensue actions of the Postal Service. It also gave the Federal Government power to break strikes. The government then got involved, and ended the strike giving employers a very powerful weapon to break unions.

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.

No... blacksmiths work with metal....

Yes. They also make weapons and bits.

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!

there's one in every town in varied locations

The Greek god of the forge, fire, and blacksmiths was Hephaestus. His Roman counterpart is Vulcan.

Poor.

That is, in Finland anyway. Well below the average salary of Finland. (2634€/month, according to Statistics Finland)

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.

A blacksmith will do this.

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.

Colonial blacksmiths typically earned between one to two shillings per day for their labor, depending on their skill level and the demand for their services. This pay could vary based on the region and the specifics of the work being done, such as forging tools, horseshoes, or other metal goods. Additionally, skilled blacksmiths might earn more if they took on specialized tasks or worked in larger urban centers. Overall, their earnings, while modest, reflected their essential role in colonial economies.

Basically, a blacksmith will use heat from a furnace and a hammer to beat white hot metal into shape over an anvil.

Yes...some slaves were expert carpenters , blacksmiths , or tailors. They learned their trades after years of service under expert white craftsmen.

Slaves could be either of the 3. They were also lots of other things

To solve a blacksmith puzzle, first, carefully examine the components and their arrangement. Look for patterns or relationships between the pieces, and consider how they interact with each other. Experiment with different configurations or manipulations, keeping in mind any clues or rules associated with the puzzle. Persistence and creative thinking are key, as some solutions may require thinking outside the box.
