	A long time ago years ago in a neolithic village someone (for simplicity sake we'll say a potter) figured out that if you took a certain green rock, put it in a kiln and got it really hot you would get a lump of shiny comparatively hard reddish material that could be heated up and shaped into a wide variety of tools and ornaments. Thus humanity learned how to work copper and the world gained it's first '''''Smiths'''''. As time went on said villages grew into towns and then cities, these guys got better at their job and figured out that one could add tin to molten copper to make bronze. Latter some of them worked out how to work iron and make steel, these guys became known as '''blacksmiths'''. Blacksmithing is a much less common trade in the modern day than it used to be, but the profusion of historical reenactment/weapons historian/arms collection communities on the internet have made many kinds of smithing a valuable and profitable niche trade.

During the Industrial Revolution, blacksmiths eventually made the transition into machinists, or even automotive mechanics, filling much of the same roles but with better technology.
