A puddling furnace is used to convert cast or pig iron (brittle) into wrought iron (maleable) by melting the cast iron, burning off the captured carbon and rolling the spongy mass or wrought iron into a ball. This first product pulled from the furnace is a "Bloom" or "Loaf" of iron that is then shingled or hammered into a billet that can be rolled in a rolling mill to produce the wrought iron. High quality merchant bars are made by cutting apart the bars, stacking them together and reheating them to welding temperatures and repeating the shingling and rolling process.

Hestia was the goddess of the hearth. Her Roman name was Vesta.
In past times most often the blacksmith used wrought iron. Wrought iron is made by taking iron ore and charcoal heating until it melts. That process produces pig iron. The next step is to heat the pig iron up until it is soft then hammer it until most of the impurities are driven off. Iron as it is heated past 600 degrees F turns black as the iron oxides with air. That gives the Blacksmith his name black + smith or striker. Mild steel is used for most modern blacksmith works.Mild steel that is steel that has less than .3 percent carbon in it. Cast iron is not used as it is too brittle.
