16. Blacksmithing
Blacksmiths create metal objects ranging from knives, gates, furniture, and even religious artifacts. The skill of blacksmithing used to be common and extremely helpful for the everyday person. There are still some people who continue the art of blacksmithing, but rather than making necessary tools for survival, they usually specialize in ornamental objects. Forging metal consists of hammering the yellow-orange super heated substance until it’s the desired shape. If you are lucky enough to know someone who can tell you the tips and tricks of blacksmithing, like your grandparents maybe–you should take the opportunity to learn a thing or two and keep the tradition going.
