smithies
Where horseshoes form
Smithies is the plural of smithy, a workshop where metal is forged—particularly a blacksmith's shop.
The word evokes traditional craftsmanship: The village had two smithies, both busy with horseshoes and tools.
By extension, any place where things are hammered into shape: the smithies of industry.
