   The blacksmith shoes the wheels in the open air. He has a stone as big as the wheel with a hole in the middle of it. He puts the tyre on the ground and covers it with lit colas and when it is red hot he takes it out and puts it down on the wheel which he has left on the big stone.

   He gets ribbon iron in the shop for making gates and sometimes he gets the pole of the gate in the shop also, but very often he makes it out of the axle of a cart. The rivets are made out of rod iron.

   Smiths are always hard rough men. People gather at the forge on wet days to spend the day talking or making things. He makes a frost nail for anyone who wants it because they say that it is as good as a blackthorn stick in a row.
