Finery forge

A **finery forge** is a hearth (a brick fireplace) used to make wrought iron by burning pig iron. Finery forges were probably used in the 3rd century BC. In the 18th and 19th century it was replaced by the puddling process.

## History

China made finery forges before 200 BC. Europe made finery forges around 1200 AD. Europe’s finery forges were worse than China’s until 1400 AD. Europe started powering their finery forges with water wheels. In 1700 AD, Europe made blast furnaces and started using puddling techniques

### German forge

In Germany and Sweden most finery forges only had one fire used for everything.

### Walloon forge

Walloon finery forges were used in north Sweden and made oregrounds iron. Oregrounds iron was the best iron available in the 18th century.

## Process

Pig iron is melted, making a lump of iron called a bloom, and slag. The iron lump is then hit with a hammer many times. Hitting the iron with a hammer gets the slag out of the iron, so the iron can be used.
Cain

In the Book of Genesis (Bible, Old Testament), **Cain** is a son of Adam and Eve. He killed his brother Abel.

Cain and Abel both gave gifts to God.  God liked Abel's gift more than Cain's. Cain became jealous of Abel.  Later, Cain hit Abel in the head with a rock.  Abel died.  When God asked Cain where Abel was, Cain pretended he did not know.  He said, "Am I my brother's keeper?"

God punished Cain by exile: He made Cain leave the place where he lived.  He made Cain go away.  He told Cain that if he tried to build a farm, the earth "would not yield up its strength." When Cain said he was afraid, God put a mark on him to protect him.

Cain went east and lived as a wanderer.  Some scholars say that the story of Cain was told to explain why some humans build farms and stay in one place and others move from place to place.
