- (continued from previous page)They are made of leather. The bellows are not made locally.When the smith is making a horse shoe he puts a piece of iron in the fire. When the iron is red he take it out with a tongs, then he hammers it until it is the shape he wants it. It is said that whenever the sparks from the iron fly towards a person that there is money coming to that person.The smith makes all kinds of farm implements such as ploughs, harrows, spades, shovels and axes. When the smith is shoeing a horse he shoes the horse outside also, when he is putting a rim round the wheel of a cart he puts it on outside the forge.
