Spiegel des menschlichen Lebens. "Mirror of Life". (Ausburg, Gunther Zainer, ca. 1475) This woodcut from Rodericus Zamorensis' mirror of human life adorns the cover of "Forging Brunsema." A blacksmith is a person who creates objects from wrought iron or steel by forging the metal; that is, by using tools to hammer, bend, and cut. Blacksmiths produce objects such as gates, grilles, railings, light fixtures, furniture, sculpture, tools, agricultural implements, decorative and religious items, cooking utensils, and weapons.
