Homonym: forge (Counterfeit)
A "forge" is a place where metal is heated and shaped, often using tools like hammers and anvils. This process, known as forging, allows blacksmiths to create various items, such as tools, weapons, and decorative pieces. The heat makes the metal malleable, enabling it to be formed into desired shapes.
In addition to traditional blacksmithing, modern forges may use advanced techniques and equipment, including electric furnaces and hydraulic presses. Forges are essential in industries like construction and manufacturing, where strong and durable metal components are required for machinery and structures.
