I'm sure everyone was your friend if you were the town blacksmith
Wrought is such a cool word
I worked at a steel mill in California that used to be the old Kaiser steel mill from World War II and ther was a very old guy still working when I was only 24 he was 72 just didn't want to retire cuz he said he'd get bored he was referred to as a blacksmith which I kind of thought was a joke name, but we became very good friends, I was a certified pipe welder and a heavy industrial mechanic. But schooling has nothing like on the job experience and learning from the greats. He showed me so many tricks about manipulating steel, hardening steel how to use the right kind of Steel to make something, for example one day I was making a knife just for fun and he came over and handed me a rusty old file and said make it out of that, I didn't know at that time why. I made a really nice looking knife I was able to mill it and do other things with a machine shop at our disposal but I sharpened it and thought I did a really good job until he took a piece of paper and tried to cut these little tiny ribbons from the edge off the paper which didn't happen until he sharpened it for me,He basically turned a knife into a scalpel and the ribbons he could cut off the paper blew my mind. To this day it is my most prized tool I have, and I have a lot. So if you get a chance to learn from somebody's older Craftsman that still exists that Engineers have made redundant take my advice and squeeze as much information out of them as you can because you'll never learn what they know out of a book.
Someone teach the apes blacksmithing
That's why blacksmiths were always safe in an invasion, no one was fool enough to harm one, It was an extremely valued skill that took a very very long time to learn as an apprentice and decades to master, and metal was far to valuable to waste on shody work from a bumbling amateur who was untrained we wasting the material, not to mention the fuel and risk damage to the facilities and equipment which were also expensive
I volunteer at Hagood Mill in SC as a blacksmith apprentice. It always blows peoples minds that next to the baker we were literally what makes most town life possible.

Smith is the most common English surname.
Art in this context means skill or knowledge.
