Blacksmith by Miles Whittingham
This is an image of a master blacksmith making a pair of specialty pliers for shoeing horses. He is forging the grove between the two parts of the pliers to make sure the two parts fit properly together.
This is a complicated piece that the blacksmith is making. It requires getting the temperature of the wrought iron correct in his coke forge and then making sure the two parts of the plier fit together perfectly.
The process of forging these two pieces of wrought iron together and then quenching the steel to ensure that it is the correct hardness is an art form.
