Clue Number 8

Iron heated until red and hot,

Able to be flattened or tied in a knot,

Sweat gathering on the forehead without a sound,

As the metal takes shape with every pound.

Before metalwork became industrialized,

This profession in each community was surely prized.

With hammer, anvil, and other self-made tools,

This tradesman labors then waits ’til all cools

To reveal his fine work, fit for the gentry—

An expression of craftsmanship—until the twentieth century.
