smithery
Where anvils ring
Smithery is the work or craft of a smith—someone who shapes metal by heating and hammering it.
The term covers both the activity and the place where it happens: The smithery rang with the sound of hammer on anvil.
It's a somewhat old-fashioned word, largely replaced by more specific terms like blacksmithing or metalworking.
