    fire places in every forge.
    These are the implements the rasp, vice, anvil, set, the hoof knive, the punch, the hammer the chisel. The smith shoes horses, asses, and wheels. Some smiths make harrows but all smiths mend ploughs, and pikes. They shoe wheels in the open air. If a horse got a gripen they get the water from the forge that cools the iron and give it to him to drink.
    The forges were the places for telling stories long ago.
