What does every castle need? Obviously it's a blacksmith. maybe even two. Really depends on how quickly your knights are blunting their swords trying to kill make belief dragons.
CCC XII - Castle Building
A remake of the classic (is it classic yet?) set brickset.com/sets/3739-1/Blacksmith-Shop
I tried to keep the character of an angular house, without making it look like its decaying, along with keeping the simple retro feel of the set. Unfortunately it doesn't open up, but I did try and replicate as many features of the house as I could. Theres some things I'd have liked to differently with more time/parts (that stone technique is parts intensive!) but as i'm heading off for about 11 days this month i figured i'm a little rushed for CCC :P
One day I may rebuild it better.... maybe...
Enjoy!

After two years I'm finally sharing these photos of my latest Dark Age creation, a medieval Blacksmith Watermill that specialize on making enchanted weapons. Using the nearby river, the mill mechanism turns the shafts and powers the blacksmith drop-hammer.
It has a vegetable garden and a courtyard as well as a kitchen and smokestack. I built-in Power Functions to light up both the fireplace and the oven, as well as move the water wheel and drop hammer. I have a full video on this MOC on my YouTube channel here - youtu.be/81YqJs8wtBg
I hope you enjoy my creation, and check out the video!
Lots of interesting stuff at the mine, here is the blacksmith shop which was just outside the mine entrance. I believe this was a canvas roofed structure, judging by the scarcity of lumber in the collapsed debris. The anvil stump is in the foreground with a work table behind. The blacksmith was the most important above ground job, sharpening drill bits and fabricating parts.

It had been a really long day. Every farmer and his brother must have come through the Baron’s court with any and every imaginable complaint, infinitely testing the Baron’s usually reasonable temper. The cook had completely burnt his breakfast…and his lunch. His supper, at least, had been excellent – he’d been invited to a grand banquet at another castle – but a little excessive. He had walked it all off, though…after his carriage wheels broke. It was night time now, and the Baron really just needed to sleep. He changed wearily into his bedclothes, pulled aside the soft, purple blanket, and slipped into his large, majestic bed. Settling his head into his pillow, the Baron closed his eyes and began to drift away….
A sudden loud bang made him sit up suddenly. Another bang…and another. A deep scowl settled onto the Baron’s face. Those dratted blacksmiths! Why did his bedroom have to be right above the smithy?
Pulling his blanket over his ears, he tried again to fall asleep. Another unexpected sound penetrated his bedroom walls. An annoyingly cheerful minstrel song floated down from the floor above him. The baron sat up in his bed. Shoving his fists into his ears, he let out an aggravated scream…but nobody could hear him. ;)

This was a fun little build. Didn’t photograph as well as I’d like…
I’ve had the chandelier design sitting around for almost a year, and the harp design for at least twice that long. Glad to finally use them! :)
Soli Deo Gloria! ;)

A real Blacksmith at the Open Air Museum in Arnhem.
Not only a telling a interesting story, but a great person too.
Enthousiastic, teaching and entertaining the crowd.
When you visit the museum, don't forget to meet him!

When you have a damaged weapon or need a new one, a blacksmith is the right place for you. Sword in the Forge!
I am very excited about the Ideas Medieval Blacksmith set that adorns my lego room, so I made my own version. The inspiration was a model from Tabletop World.
I hope you like it!
I make these small leaves when my coal forge is heating, they don't take a lot of heat to make. Then they get a key ring and I hand them out to customers. Fun to make and they don't have to be raked.

Michelham Priory
England’s longest water filled moat surrounds the site which dates back to 1229.
Explore Michelham’s fascinating 800 year history, from its foundation by Augustinian canons, through the destruction caused by the dissolution of the monasteries in Tudor times and into its later life as a country house.
I took a middle of the road approach to cleanup the blacksmith model and changed about 8 to 10 aspects. Can you find them all?
Note: missing dog isn't one of them. :)
I had the opportunity last week to visit a working Blacksmiths.
It was really interesting and a great photo opportunity. This one has to be my ultimate favourite.
Near the center of the village sits the home of the village blacksmith. Working out of a small shop connected to his house, the blacksmith provides trustworthy work to the local farmers, soldiers, and craftsmen who need a horse shoed, a plough sharpened, or a tool repaired. The sound of his hammer striking metal can be heard throughout the countryside, and the cozy outdoor shop often serves as the site of friendly socialization and sharing of news for the village residents.

Another build incorporating the technic-pin roof technique I've been playing with. I love the way it looks and the versatility of it's shape, but it can really be a pain to work with. ;)
Also, building houses is kinda hard...getting the roof shape and building proportions right can be complicated. Something I need to practice more. :)
Thanks for looking!

Blacksmith at Ross Farm on a day that was sweltering even outside the shop. I don't know how they manage in the heavy, traditional clothing.
The blacksmith had his head down a lot as he was understandably concentrating on work, and I couldn't really find an angle to solve the problem. However the hat had some character, so I tried to work with it/accentuate it.
What to do when wanting to build something for the CCC, time is running out, you’re away from your collection for a few days and the only LEGO set you brought is 21325.
I present to you my alternative model of 21325, the blacksmith, hope you like it.
Somethings were trickier than normally because the predefined bricks, but I liked the challenge and am fairly happy with the end result.
A CCC-XIX entry for the “Civilian Building” category.
Here is one I found from a few years ago at the French & Indian War Encampment in Cook Forest State Park. These guys were having a good time blacksmithing (I think that's a word??).
