    would know that it is a forge. They make shoes and gates, and mend ploughs and harrows and all things relating to iron. The forges are thatched. They are both built on the side of the road.
    The bellows is made out of leather. There is only one fire in the forges. The anvil is to put the iron on to strike it or to bend it.
