Forge

A small, open furnace that burned coal and was supplied with forced air from a bellows or handoperated blower. The forge was used by blacksmiths to heat iron enough (generally a red heat) to be shaped or welded. The left item in the illustration is a blower. To the right is a forge. Air from the blower was piped to the bottom of the forge so it could flow up through the burning coal.
