Traditionally a village smithy was a busy place because the smiths work was so necessary.
So the old smith went out to his smithy and weighed out iron enough to make a stout staff a stone weight, and he smithied it well while his son looked on. So they weighed six stone of iron and smithied a great bent club like a shinny, and when that was made and cooled the smiths son said, "that will do."
