The Art of Hammering
The most basic, yet most essential technique in ancient smithing: the art of hammering. It's all about feeling the rhythm of the hammer and the metal.
Start with a gentle touch, like you're playing a harp. As you get more experienced, you can transition to a more aggressive tempo, like a metal band.
Remember, practice makes perfect, unless you're trying to make a sword for a Roman gladiator, in which case, it's just not going to end well.
