How they have changed
Blacksmiths haven't changed to much over the centuries. The only things that have changed are the tools they make and the tools they use. The normal blacksmith these days don't make a lot of swords or weapons now they are making all kinds of things. They have different and better tools than they had back in the mid evil times. For example these days we have welding systems so they can make bigger and better things. Now days blacksmiths have massive rooms unlike mid evil times when your trapped in a solid stone room with hardly any elbow room. Other than those things its still the same.
