Forging is the art of manufacturing various metal products.

Forging can be divided into several types: household type, technical, artistic. While technology, and all nine work techniques are the same. Once shoeing horses, for example, was a separate type of work.

Along with simple everyday things, such as nails, hammers, axes, etc., masters also create elements of artistic door trim design, screens for the fireplace, gates, etc., and also making decorations: vases, original accessories, ingenious rings, etc. At the same time blacksmiths are making all sorts of weapons and knight outfits.

But we must distinguish between different areas of blacksmithing art separating handicraft and art.
