Heating up a pipe to mold and bend is part of the demonstration that a Blacksmith shows to visitors that come to the Fortress of Louisbourg in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. Some of the tools a Blacksmith needs hang on the nails on either side of the fire and are close on hand if the Blacksmith requires them.
