Touching Lives
“All men had need of the smith’s knowledge, talents, products, and services.There is no one whom this art does not serve.”
Vannoccio Biringuccio, 1540
The Blacksmith of the eighteenth century touched the daily lives of the community by forging everything from nails, horseshoes, and turnbuckles, to bed irons, ladles, coffee mills and boot-scrapers.
Although products and technology have changed over the years, forging companies continue to craft products that have a direct impact on homes and industry.
