The metalsmith's forge turns metal bars into various weapons, armors, furniture, siege ammunition, trap components, and other objects. To build a forge, you must have one block and an anvil. If you embark without preparing carefully, you will start with one iron anvil. If you lose it or start without an anvil, you can often trade for one.

It takes one unit of charcoal or coke to produce items on a forge, unless you use a magma forge.

Weapons

Weapons can be forged from copper, iron, bronze, steel, and silver, for one metal bar each. The weapons that can be forged are:

Battle axe
War Hammer
Short Sword
Spear
Mace
Crossbow
Pick
Bolts (a stack of 25 will be produced)

However, note that crossbows and picks cannot be forged out of silver.

Armor

Armor can be forged from copper, iron, bronze, and steel. Available armor types include:

Plate Mail (3 metal bars)
Chain Mail (2 metal bars)
Greaves (2 metal bars)
Leggings
Helm
Cap
Gauntlets
Boots
Shield
Buckler

Each piece of armor requires one metal bar to forge, except where noted.

Furniture

Furniture can forged from copper, iron, bronze, steel, gold, silver, brass, tin, and platinum -- in short, all metals except for pig iron. You can forge:

Cage
Chain (1 metal bar)
Animal Trap (1 metal bar) (metalsmith must have trapping labor must be enabled as well)
Bucket (1 metal bar)
Barrel
Armor Stand
Metal Blocks (1 metal bar)
Door
Floodgate
Statue
Cabinet
Chest
Throne
Sarcophagus
Table
Weapon Rack
Bin (As of v22.121.23a)

All metal furniture requres 3 bars to forge except for chains, animal traps, buckets and blocks.

Siege Equipment

Siege Equipment can be forged from copper, iron, bronze, and steel. Only one piece of siege equipment can be forged: the ballista arrowhead, which requires 3 metal bars. These arrowheads must then be mated with a wooden log at a siege workshop to form a complete ballista bolt. It is also possible to make pure wooden ballista bolts at the siege workshop, which are assumed to do less damage. The siege engines themselves are also built at the siege workshop, out of three siege engine parts made of wood.

Trap Components

Trap Components can be forged from copper, iron, bronze, and steel. They are:

Note that each requires 2 bars of metal to forge.

Other Objects

Other objects can be forged from all metals except pig iron. They are:

Crafts
Goblet
Toy
Instrument
Flask
Minted Coins
Stud an item with metal

Each of the above objects requires one bar of metal to make, including studding. Like other decorations (such as encrusting with gems or decorating with bone), you cannot specify which object to stud: the smithy will generally take the nearest available object and stud it.

In addition, 3 bars of either iron or steel can be used to forge anvils, which are used in the construction of additional forges.

Skills Used

Metalsmith: All furniture except chains and animal traps; anvils
Metal Crafter: Chains; everything in the "all other objects" category except anvils.
Weaponsmith: All weapons and ammunition except for crossbows; trap components; siege equipment?
Bowyer: Crossbow
Armorsmith: All armor
Trapper: Animal traps

Note: This section is a work in progress; it needs further data and correction.
