It was the first fan-designed official LEGO set in fact, and sold as ‘My Own Creation’ way back in 2002.Īlthough that’s not quite as far back as Medieval times, if we look at what LEGO has done with 21325 in comparison to 3739 we can see just how far the medium has come in the last two decades. Seeing how the set promoted imaginative play in my children was a joy and further welded my opinion that this truly is a great set.īriefly mentioned in the instructions is 3739 Blacksmith Shop, a model that was also originally conceived by a fan, Daniel Siskind. My kids (7 and 9) both loved playing with the set once it was built, and spent an hour after our home learning commitments creating a complex story. I anticipate being able to easily make a variety of other buildings from this. I’ve a feeling it’ll be a great start for building your own Medieval village too.

21325 Medieval Blacksmith is packed full of good, useful pieces (some in great quantities) and without a vast number of small pieces bumping up the part count, if nothing else this represents a brilliant parts pack.

peining is when you want the metal to move in a certain direction, or all directions.

upsetting is when you are broadening an end, adding mass.

drawing out, as the name suggests, is a process of lengthening the piece of metal.

There are three basic ways to shape the metal: Once you’ve mastered the three Hs, you’re ready to move on to Shaping. Hammers and anvils come in all sorts of shapes and sizes too. Something to hit with, and something hard and flat to hit on, would also be essential.

Hitting: Accuracy is far more important than force.

To adequately hold the workpiece still, you will need tongs (of which there are a vast array), clamps, vises and jigs.

Holding: Once hot, if you’re unable to hold it, there’s no way you’ll be able to hit it.

Heating: First the metal needs to be heated fairly precisely to the correct temperature for this you’ll probably need a forge (a hearth or stone-lined furnace).
