    there is only one in the other forge. They lights the second fire when they are banding wheels. One of the implements is a bellows and that is worked by a lever in each forge The other implements used are an anvil, a sledge, a vice a pincers, a hammer, a knife and a rasp. Each of the smiths shoes horses and donkeys. They make farm implements when the farmers want them. They bands wheels and make gates in the open air. The flag on which they do that work is called the binding stone. The water they used is good for warts
