When you visit a Codford St Peter blacksmith’s forge, you’ll see a range of tools and techniques in action, including the following:

• a furnace, which burns at extremely high heat, in order to make the metal malleable and workable
• an anvil, which is the work surface used to fashion and sculpt the metal on
• a range of different tools, such as hammer, tongs, chisels and more – these are used to work the metal and create the detailing
• some more modern equipment, such as a welder or angle grinder – these are often used when creating more contemporary designs
