Gwendolyn the The Blacksmith's Apprentice

My name is Gwendolyn. I am an apprentice to Mr. James, the Blacksmith. James builds things using iron such as 'shoes' for horses and oxen. He is also a dentist. He has only one cure for toothaches: pulling the tooth out!!! I am learning how to use a cone mandrel so I can make iron rings.

    Hello Gwendolyn,

    Does it hurt a horse when you nail an iron shoe' into it's hoof? Also, what about the people whose teeth you pull, how do they handle the pain? What is a cone mandrel and how do make rings with it? You a learning an important trade. You should be very proud of yourself.
