The Legendary Blacksmith
Artisan or blacksmith are people who work to make iron or steel tools, such as farming tools: hoes, sickles, axes, knives, etc. As well as weapons. Mr. Ibrahim worked as a rough ironmonger at his makeshift machete or machetes place in Alue Lim village next to his residence. His wife Salbiah sells gasoline and snacks at a small kiosk near the sidewalk, exactly on the pipe len front of the small house they occupy.
Blacksmith, maybe for us just plain cleverman whose capital is just muscle and heat resistant only. But, in truth they are geniuses. The blacksmiths are really thinking about what they make. Not only that, the blacksmiths also always put soul on every forging. Hence, they can then create something very impressive.
A traditional blacksmith usually forge with wood charcoal. To heat the iron, fireplace is used, either from teak wood charcoal or other hardwood, so the heat can be maximized.
In addition to making tools, blacksmiths can also hone the old tools to the back of the sharp. This is the process of making farmers' tools in the form of machetes.
