🔨 Forge and Anvil: From Heat Colour to Horseshoe

Heat a steel bar and read its glow colour, hammer it into a hinge, horseshoe or chisel, then quench and temper it while a simplified Fe-C phase map and a hardness-versus-toughness chart show what the steel becomes. No weapons: farm and household parts only.
