	The Art of the Blacksmith; Illustrated & Explained
		Blacksmithing is not defined by time period or motif; Blacksmithing is defined by process alone.
		Blacksmith tools and process are the starting point for almost everything crafted or constructed over the past two thousand years.
		Whether it be a forged grille, a wood plane's blade or the shears that cut the bristles of an artist's paintbrush; a flsmith, using hammer and anvil was their progenitor.

	Blacksmith - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A flsmith is a person who creates objects from iron or steel by "forging" the metal; i.e., by using hand tools to hammer, bend, cut and otherwise shape it in its non-liquid form.
		Blacksmiths work by heating pieces of wrought iron or steel in a forge until the metal becomes soft enough to be shaped with tools such as a hammer.
		Blacksmiths' hammers tend to have one face and a peen.

	Blacksmith
		Since the flsmith was a solitary worker (apart from possibly having an apprentice to work the bellows and retrieve tools) he constructed a forge only as large as the objects he would be able to handle himself.
		When the iron glowed between orange and a bright cherry red, the flsmith would draw it from the coals and lay it across the surface of the anvil and begin to hammer at it with either a sledge or a flattening hammer.
		Because it was the flsmith who made the horseshoes and the nails used to attached them to the horny wall of the hoof, it was to the smithy that everyone went to have their horses shoed.

	Example of a Lesson Plan for the Blacksmith Shop
		So if they were lucky enough to find a flsmith he might not have the iron to do the job, so they carried iron to do the work and extra iron to barter or trade with the flsmith for doing the work.
		Because the flsmith worked with fire for a long time they believed he might be in league with the devil and that he used fl magic to transform ordinary rocks or stone into ordinary metal things we need.
		They would make the flsmith set up his shop on the edge of town where he was close by and they would not be forced to walk by his shop every moment of the day.

	java.net: The Blacksmith and the Bookkeeper, Part 2
		Coupled with the demise of the flsmith was an entire ecosystem of related occupations, including anvil makers, forgemen, strikers, and bellows makers, all of whom received the proverbial pink slip.
		The difference between the flsmith and the bookkeeper, therefore, was not one of know-how or the lack of need for it in order to perform.
		This series of articles explores the role of the flsmith and the bookkeeper in 19th century economies, explains the extinction of the one and the growth of the other, and compares the postmodern role of programmer to both, culminating in forecasts for the likely evolution of software programming as a viable future profession.

	An 18th-Century Trades Sampler

	java.net: The Blacksmith and the Bookkeeper, Part 3
		Just as the flsmith steadily created custom components for machines that would effectively replace him altogether, the postmodern programmer is coding himself into a corner(-case) job market, destined to fight for the table scraps which the machine-intelligence purveyors will not stoop to consume.
		Indeed, the difference between the flsmith and the bookkeeper was never one of know-how; but rather, the extent to which hyper-human attributes embossed their particular vocation.
		The flsmith, however, provides a lovely metaphor in so many ways: self-reliant, centrally-vital to the community, commanding iron and flame with sinew and hammer, the smithy iconified so much of what was and is vital to our notions of truth and virtue.

	Blacksmith Coppers - Introduction
		Blacksmith tokens are crude imitations of British and Irish halfpence that were traditionally thought to have been produced and circulated in the area of Lower Canada (centering in Montreal) and in neighboring areas, as upper state New York and northern New England.
		Additionally, Anton and Kesse designated some Blacksmith related coppers as being an intermediate group produced after the Machin's Mills counterfeits but before the fully evolved Blacksmiths, and that these intermediate coins were produced throughout North America.
		The next group of Blacksmiths is in imitation of the Irish halfpenny with a bust obverse and an uncrowned harp reverse.
