Colonial Market Museum: Blacksmith

Hello, my name is Christopher Hopkins. I am a Blacksmith.
Everyday I have to make a fire to melt the iron. I use hammers, forges, anvils, and axes. I get the tools ready. Today I am making a horseshoe. I have to melt the iron and then pour it into the mold. I have to make sure the shoe fits the horse.
