A blacksmith shop from the pioneer days relocated to Zilker Botanical Gardens in Austin, Texas. This is alongside a garden that illustrates techniques from the 1800's for gardening and small farming.
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!
Hrafnagil (also known as Reykárhverfi) is a small village in Eyjafjarðarsveit, northern Iceland. When we drove though the town there was a fair in progress.

He is a blacksmith and he is closely watching the hot metal, hammer and the anvil as he shapes the red hot metal that he is holding with tongs in his hand.

My first castle MOC, its a little medieval forge. I started to build it because I wanted to contribute a MOC to the medieval project of the other BricktimeTeam members. After finishing the house and some parts of the environment, I lost the enthusiasm for this project. But two excellent castle experts, BoB and Wochenender, take care for it. They put the final touches to it and they also made these photos. Thanks a lot my friends.
To build out of my comfortzone needs help/inspiration:

Brian is a 4th gen blacksmith who volunteers at the Steppingstone Farm Museum in Susquehanna State Park.
Lindsborg, Kansas. This small town is known for its Swedish and other Nordic and Scandinavian Americans.
The Chiltern Open Air Museum offers a unique glimpse into the past with its collection of historic buildings and live demonstrations, including the traditional craft of blacksmithing. Visitors can immerse themselves in the art of blacksmithing, learning about the techniques and skills used by blacksmiths throughout history. The museum's Garston Forge is a working Victorian blacksmith's forge, where one can witness the heat of the fire and the sound of metal being shaped. It's an engaging experience that connects people with the heritage of craftsmanship. Additionally, the museum hosts a variety of events and activities that bring history to life, from costumed interpreters in historic buildings to specialist talks and craft demonstrations.
The term 'blacksmith' conjures images of a bygone era where artisans skillfully transformed metal into functional and decorative items. Historically, blacksmiths played a vital role in society, forging tools, weapons, and horseshoes, which were essential for everyday life and progress. Today, the craft continues, blending tradition with modern techniques. Blacksmiths are still revered for their ability to shape metal, now often creating bespoke pieces that are as much works of art as they are functional objects.
A blacksmith is a metalsmith who creates objects primarily from wrought iron or steel, but sometimes from other metals, by forging the metal, using tools to hammer, bend, and cut. Blacksmiths produce objects such as gates, grilles, railings, light fixtures, furniture, sculpture, tools, agricultural implements, decorative and religious items, cooking utensils, and weapons. There was an historical distinction between the heavy work of the blacksmith and the more delicate operation of a whitesmith, who usually worked in gold, silver, pewter, or the finishing steps of fine steel. The place where a blacksmith works is called variously a smithy, a forge or a blacksmith's shop.
While there are many people who work with metal such as farriers, wheelwrights, and armorers, in former times the blacksmith had a general knowledge of how to make and repair many things, from the most complex of weapons and armor to simple things like nails or lengths of chain.
Garston Forge is a Victorian blacksmith's forge originally constructed in the 1850s in Garston, Hertfordshire. This forge was actively used by the Martin family from the 1860s until 1926, and it has been meticulously preserved to showcase the industrial heritage of the area. The museum has gone to great lengths to recreate the original environment of the forge, including a brick and flint wall typical of the Chiltern area, and a circular cast-iron platform used historically for fitting metal tyres onto wooden wagon and cart wheels. The forge's relocation and restoration at the museum serve as a testament to the dedication to preserving and educating about the past.
The Blacksmith tempers a sword blade at his anvil. His Thunder Hammer can be used to forge weapons or crack the skulls of his enemies as he sees fit. A much respected figure by folk short or tall.

This is front blacksmith shop of Uncle Chuan. Uncle Chuan is a legendary blacksmith in Pasir Penambang. Mr Chuan has been pounding a metal since he was a teenager. He inherited this business from his father but like all dying trade, apparently, no one in his family is interested in keeping it alive. He also sell many thing such as blade, axe, fish cutter, crescent and more.
My son has now got himself a forge down the bottom of the garden! (thanks to a very clever uncle) So a few photo opportunities ahead for me :)
Daughter and I took a trip to Maria Zell, to see the Christmas market and the basilica.

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!

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.
