Heated Fury Blacksmith shop. The shop depicts a heavy blacksmithing and scythe makers' workshop. Double forge built of brick and stone.
Enclosed double forge (two fires side by side for two blacksmiths to work at the same time). The style of construction of this forge takes up less space in a shop since both smith's fires can utilize the same chimney. Each fire was blown with a great bellows that is suspended overhead at the left and right sides of the forge. The forge is enclosed entirely on three sides and open only in the front. The forge appears to be built of brick and stone The entire forge was built of brick and and covered in a plaster of mortar. The arched opening below the hearth is stone.
The shop has a smithy that forges small blooms of wrought iron to make scythes. Three water-powered tilt hammers are located close to the forge, one large hammer to the left side and two smaller hammers to the right. The smaller hammers are also of different weights with the heavier of the two on the left.. A lever hanging near the left side of the frame supporting the small hammers controls the sluice gate that operates the water wheel. The sluice gate and water wheel occupy the rear-right side wall of the shop. The wall is cut away to show the water duct. A table near the front of the shop shows a group of scythes and weaponry in different stages of completion.
