JJCLUB-SET#16 – English Travelling Blacksmith's Forge – 3 Pieces

Before modern workshops and recovery vehicles, a travelling army depended heavily upon skilled craftsmen capable of repairing essential equipment in the field.

Few were more important than the blacksmith.

JJCLUB-SET#16 – English Travelling Blacksmith's Forge is a three-piece set representing the mobile equipment required to carry this vital trade wherever troops and horses travelled.

Blacksmiths shod horses, repaired iron fittings and dealt with the constant wear inflicted upon military equipment during campaigning. For cavalry, artillery and wagon transport, their skills could directly affect whether animals and vehicles remained operational.

As a display piece, the travelling forge opens up possibilities far removed from the usual firing line. Position it beside a road, in a military camp or among horses and wagons to create a busy support area.

A blacksmith scene can become one of the most interesting corners of a larger diorama precisely because it shows how an army actually functioned between battles.

Available from The Military Workshop – a wonderfully detailed three-piece John Jenkins Designs Travelling Blacksmith's Forge, ideal for bringing the logistical life of a historical army into your collection.
