The Virginia iron furnace near Albright, West Virginia is one of a handful of water-powered blast furnaces still standing; they were constructed to smelt pig iron, a key ingredient in steel, in the early days of America's industrial area. Iron ore and limestone from the local mountains were poured onto burning charcoal from the top of the furnace, and molten iron ran out the bottom. The temperature of the charcoal was maintained by a bellows powered by a waterwheel, which was turned by water diverted from adjacent Muddy Creek. Built in 1854, the furnace ran until the end of the 19th Century, and was eventually acquired and preserved by the Daughters of the American Revolution. The structure has since been added to the National Register of Historic Places. In addition to its historical significance and beautiful setting next to Muddy Creek, the furnace also apparently serves as a clandestine meeting place for those seeking a more personal form of recreation (seriously, people will do it anywhere).

The Ancient Ferrous Metallurgy Sites of Burkina Faso are collectively a UNESCO World Heritage Site and some of the earliest furnaces in this part of Western Africa were built in 800 BC!

Goblin Week 2023 - GOBS NUMO FUWAH

Badger-like goblin doing his blacksmith magic on a sword. I have a head cannon that he is an escaped slave. He doesn’t speak much, but he knows his craft and now brings it to the rest of the goblins that he now lives amongst.

Where in the world: Balkash, Kazakhstan

Copper--it's used to make everything from coins to cookware, and in the case of Balkash, an entire city was built on it.

In 1928, a wealth of copper reserves were discovered on the site where the city now stands along the northern shore of Lake Balkash. By 1937, the settlement that had been set up to provide goods and shelter to workers in the area had become the city.

Over the next few decades, the mining and metallurgical operations in Balkash supplied much-needed copper to the USSR and the rest of the world. After Kazakhstan gained its independence in 1991, Balkash continued to be a major hub for copper.

Today, about 66,000 people live in Balkash, and copper's still a really big deal. They build monuments out of it--like this one that commemorated the 50th anniversary of the company formed to mine copper from the region.

Its rich warm colors are also echoed in the architecture like on the facade of this mosque.

Each year, the anniversary of the opening of the copper plant is celebrated as a holiday, and nearly everyone has at least one family member who works in the industry. Since 1952, nearly 13 million copper cathodes have been shipped out of the city, and so many tons of raw copper have left Balkash bound for elsewhere that they've literally lost count of how much has been produced. The next time you see a penny or flip an egg over in your copper-clad skillet, you just might be encountering a little piece of Balkash's history.

In moments like these, I hate my parents a little because they made sure I was educated and knew how to read and speak in 3 languages because  holy shit, the things I’m forced to read…

Wait, what smelties love to claim? “We ship them just as friends, uwu”. Right.
