- I have an uncle a blacksmith in DuMacrib. My grandfather and great grandfather were blacksmiths too. The present forge is built about forty years ago. My uncle and grandfather only worked there. They do not make spades, only a turf spade and they are hammered out of old one.
The blacksmith's tools consist of an anvil and the anvil is for striking out his work on. He has a vice for holding iron and all sorts of hammers, bellows, and dyes for screwing balls.
