iron forge
Blacksmith's hot workplace
An iron forge is a workshop or furnace where iron is heated and shaped, typically by a blacksmith.
The term emphasizes both the material worked and the place of working—distinguished from forges that handle other metals.
Historically, iron forges were essential to communities for producing tools, weapons, and hardware: The village iron forge supplied horseshoes and plowshares.
