1. Because of my new answer which is: The best way to efficiently manipulate metal into a desired shape is by creating tools to assist in the forging process, for my 2nd independent component I will create necessary assistant tools to further my study in forging metal.These include abnormal tools that can only be made by blacksmiths such as: a nail header, anvil helper, spring fuller, adjustable tongs, re sizable tongs, hardy tools, and many, many more. creating these tools will not only give me more experience working with metal but when i use the tools they allow me to work on a project without any assistance thus forcing me to create tools to solve the problems of working alone. If blacksmiths have one trait its ingenuity and these tools are proof of that. So when creating these tools I will fashion them around my own problems as a blacksmith thus increasing my aptitude for that trait.
2. With this topic as my component I can show much more than the 30 hours required by researching different types of tools requires for different projects as well as spending the 30+ hours forging them at the shop every other Saturday.
3. This will help me gain experience solving problems as well as more practice working with metal. It will also show me how blacksmiths functioned long ago with and without apprentices. and how to overcome some of the difficulties crating abnormal pieces.
