- A forge is a black-smiths shop. The black-smith starts his fire with coal and turf and blows it with a bellows. Then he puts in his iron and heats it until it is quite red. He takes it out and hammers it on an anvil into what-ever shape he needs it. Out of iron he makes horse and ass shoes, ploughs, and scuffles, grates, gates cranes and crooks and every other thing that iron is used for.
