Medieval blacksmiths were important in the community because they provided people with a variety of metal tools. They fabricated weapons for war and constructed household items. Blacksmiths not only created these tools by molding raw metals, but they also repaired and maintained them. Although they were laborers who worked with their hands, blacksmiths held a high social position in medieval and early modern societies.

Welding is the joining of the same or similar kind of metal.

In forge welding, the pieces to join are heated to what is generally referred to as welding heat. For mild steel most smiths judge this temperature by color: the metal glows an intense yellow or white. At this temperature the steel is near molten.
