    (continued from previous page)
    Forge Village, R.I.P. They were very good blacksmiths.
    They made the nails out of steel, that they buy in the shop, or out of old horse shoes. They redden the steel in the fire, when it would be properly heated they take it up and hammer it into any size they want on the anvil.
    The nails that they used to make used to last a long while, even longer than the nails they get in the shops.
