A smithy is a place where blacksmiths do their work, heating, and shaping metal, especially to make tools. Smithy or Forging is the oldest shaping process used for producing small articles for which accuracy in size is not so important. The parts are shaped by heating them in an open fire or hearth by the blacksmith and shaping them through applying compressive forces using a hammer.
