English: The sound of manual steel forging with the use of a hammer. The recording was realized in the National Museum of Agriculture and Agricultural-Food Industry in Szreniawa (Poland).

The blacksmith heats up a piece of steel for a horseshoe to red, then puts it on the anvil and hits with a hammer. The steel cools down quickly, so it is put back to the furnace. This sequence of activities is repeated many times.
