- (continued from previous page)of the forge is made of canvas and it is oblong in shape. There is a big round stone and a horse-shoe on it as a sign that it is a forge. There is one fireplace in it and it has a bellows with a long handle at the end. They are used for blowing the fire.The smith uses a hammer, wedge, pincers, bellows and he makes horse-shoes. He puts shoes on asses and on ponies. He makes ploughs and harrows and he repairs pikes and spades. The smiths do a lot of work in the air such as repairing machines.Brigid Fitzgerald, Clorane, Kildimo, Co. Limerick.
