Blacksmithing, Wagon, and Buggy Making
The blacksmith was absolutely necessary at one time or another to every household. He made, mended, and repaired almost every item used made of iron and wood. The small shops were found scattered over the entire countryside. The anvil rang from sunup to sundown. The smith had to sharpen the drawing knife, plows, sweeps, saws, axes, the wagons, buggies, plows, planters; make the hinges, fire dogs, wheelbarrows; mend the baby cradles, rocking chairs, bedsteads, toys, wash pots, cooking utensils, butcher knives, make handles for the saws, hoes, shovels, hammers, picks, trows, hatchets, and a multitude of other things.
The 1850 Census shows ... W. W. Bruce had 1000 lbs iron and 800 bushels of coal. (son of Hardin Bruce)
