eli5 How were such intricate items like suits or armour and castle decorations made in the medieval era when they lacked advanced metal processing and precision tools we have today
In: 249
The tools and techniques used in medieval blacksmithing really haven’t changed much.
Watch Forged In Fire if you’d like some examples. They still furnaces to heat the steel, hammers and anvils to work it, and grinders to grind it.
The biggest difference is that a lot of these tools are now powered by electricity rather than humans.
