• BoraxRelated: Some smiths apply borax during forge welding to limit scale and help clean the joint.

• Chain (physical links)Related: Forging linked metal components was a traditional way to make durable chains.

• GoldsmithingCompared with: It relies on related metalworking skills but works harder, less costly metals at different scales.

• Bob FitzsimmonsRelated: Fitzsimmons trained as a blacksmith, a trade often linked to accounts of his strength.

• PickaxeRelated: Forging determines a pickaxe head’s shape, hardness, and attachment to its handle.
