The video shows a person using a pair of tongs to hold a piece of metal over an anvil. The metal is glowing red hot, indicating that it has been heated to a high temperature. The person then uses a hammer to shape the metal, which is a common technique in blacksmithing. The anvil is a large, heavy object used to hold the metal in place while it is being worked on. The tongs are a tool used to hold the metal safely and securely. The hammer is used to shape the metal by applying force and pressure. The person in the video is likely a blacksmith, a craftsperson who creates objects from wrought iron or steel by forging the metal, using tools to hammer, bend, and cut (cf. tinsmith).
