A forge is a
hearth used for
forging. The term "forge" can also refer to the
workplace of a
smith or a
blacksmith, although the term smithy is then more commonly used.
The basic
smithy contains a forge, also known as a hearth, for heating metals. The forge heats the workpiece to a malleable temperature (a temperature where the metal becomes easier to shape) or to the point where
work hardening no longer occurs. The workpiece is transported to and from the forge using
tongs. The tongs are also used to hold the workpiece on the smithy's
anvil while the smith works it with a
hammer. Finally the workpiece is transported to the
slack tub, which rapidly cools the workpiece in a large body of water. The slack tub also provides water to control the fire in the forge.
