I would like to suggest backing that bellows away from the forge. Make a clay pipe, or a metal pipe to go between the bellows and the forge. That way, the nozzle of the bellows isn't damaged by the radiant heat. It would be easier to replace a clay or disposable metal pipe than rebuild the front end of the bellows.

After my father had been retired for a few years he decided he wanted to build a blacksmith shop. He had no idea how to do metal working, nor had he ever done this kind of work before. At the same time we took a family vacation to St Augustine FL (weird to go on vacation with my mom and dad when you are an adult but so glad I did) we visited an old village I think called Colonial Quarter. They had all kinds of historic actors/guides talking about life in old St Augustine. They had a blacksmith and my dad visited with him for a long time. My father got ideas for building his own shop. My dad never got a chance to finish that blacksmith shop, he passed away about half way through construction. Not sure why I felt like writing this, I don't have a point to the story. Thank you for the video.

If you think about bronze, it was smelt from tin and copper, poured into clay molds with desired shape. After cooling down it was finished on wet stones of varying hardness and grit. Iron needed more heat to be extracted from raw ore, but afterwards it could be worked over with relatively simple tools. Stone, wood, antler etc. Of course it would result in a very, very rough and primitive items - but they in turn could be used to make better, more sophisticated tools. I mean - if you could put a lump of iron on the end of the branch, then you had a hammer. Bigger lump of iron could serve as an anvil. From there things would go easier. Ancient metallurgy is an fascinating area to study :)

From the first time some early humans saw something shiny coming out of a rock in a camp fire, to presumably using granite as the first hammers, to finally using a wad of copper at the end of a stick as a hammer. The innovations over the centuries would be so fascinating to see. So much trial and error, with so few resources. Only human stubbornness moved us out of the stone age.

A stone anvil and hammer until iron tools, most likely. Using copper or bronze as a hammer would be less ideal than stone for a few reasons; it's softer, would smoosh quickly while working, would literally melt onto the iron in small amounts (which is a technique you can use to give iron a nice finish, but less than desirable if it's your tools melting; also prevents forge welding), and I'd bet that even hot wrought iron is harder than copper.

Just a note: can you actually *melt* iron in a forge like that? The melting point of iron is after all 2800 fahrenheit. At least in the early bloomeries (where the environment was a lot hotter than is needed for regular blacksmithing) the temperature didn't have to reach the iron's melting point, only the melting point of the surrounding slag. The iron would then reduce and combine with the charcoal and forms a sponge iron.
@farmerboy916

Anvils at the time period in question were made of wrought iron with a plow steel face. The anvil was built up by forge welding smaller pieces of iron together into a cohesive whole.

Well I'm blown away. I've been interested in blacksmithing for some time, but can't afford the forge and hand-cranked blower. Yet you build one from WOOD and MUD!! Amazing, thanks so much for sharing your incredible knowledge.
