Blacksmiths Masters 
in Strategic and Agriculture Tools Production 


Era Sharp weapons are a mainstay in many human activities comes from the furnace and the kitchen "master" it. Similarly, the magnitude of the role and usefulness of the tool made of iron, without this tool people will probably lose in the competition control of the territory by a powerful animal. Similarly, in terms of seizing area / region in the colonial era, the role is still very important the sharp weapon but gradually replaced by firearms. Master in strategic production is as general in battle field. He designs and take all important instructions. But blacksmiths are also produce tradditional tools of agriculture; hoes, forks, flows and knife, sicle, and the like used in agriculture.

The blacksmith is an artisan (people) who work with using fire forge iron to form iron into a desired object, such as daggers, swords, knives, and others. An expert blacksmith usually has a stocky or muscular strong bodies, because of the way they work 90% sourced from muscle and body strength.

At the time of the kings, a blacksmith closely associated with the knights knights and soldiers, was created because of his swords, spears, arrows and various kinds of weapons. Weapons that are deliberately created to carve the blood and history.

This profession is led by an expert who was called masters. Team blacksmith everyday we can find are:
They work in a team so blacksmith does not work alone, but there are some people with a division of labor respectively.

In the blacksmith industry consists of four parts work. Parts of it are masters, panjak, handyman bellows, and the stingy artisan.

1 Master (empu)
Masters teacher also called a blacksmith. He set up the production of any equipment made. Masters holding the iron to be formed at the same time set the parts which must be forged in order to form a tool as desired. Forging iron depends on the direction of master craftsman. You could say this is a designer in the master blacksmith.

 2. Panjak
Panjak being work to forge metal
Panjak a hammer swing. There are two or three people in the work area panjak blacksmith. During the work, panjak taking place behind the anvil (anvil), facing masters. When masters put a red-hot iron rod on the anvil (anvil), panjak swinging the gavel on top of the head, blow down with hard punches, changing the shape of the metal rod and simultaneously increasing its density. If there are two or three panjak, they forge in turn, creates a two-tone or three beats that sound like music.

3 Artisan bellows
Artisan bellows are in charge of pumping the wind in order to charcoal burning. Ububduduk builders on stage bellows pump and lower stem with two knock own rhythm. Ububan (pump) the form of two cylindrical tubes mounted lined. These two tubes inside the valve can be moved up and down like a tire pump motion. In another part of this ububan tube contained a short pipe. The short pipe buried in the ground in a depth of about 10-15 cm. At the end of the pipe is laid coals. This flame embers could tempered or enlarged with "puff" of wind ububan. Sometimes ububan also be replaced with a hand pump.

4. Artisan Stingy
Artisan fisted sharpening and / or grinding the edges of the tool to make it sharp. He could be doing other finishing tasks, such as rubbing the surface of the tool with sandpaper or polishing the exterior with a protective anti-rust coating. Artisan miser sit apart from other workers, in a corner of the work area or in the shade under the eaves just outside the work area. While working, he sometimes sat cross-legged, and sometimes sit with one leg sticking a small shelf to hold reliance tool that is being done.

That is the team of a smith which is disappearing in downtown, too. However we find them in certain rural or area to maintain traditionally.
