forges







FORGEA furnace or hearth where metals are heated or wrought a smithy.
A basic smithy contains a forge, sometimes called a hearth for heating the
malleable, or to a temperature where work hardening ceases to accumulate, an
anvil to lay the metal pieces on while hammering, and a slack tub to rapidly cool,
metal, and hammers to strike the hot metal.
