nounStandard termMetallurgy

A specialized blacksmith who cuts, bends, and welds structural iron or steel shapes.

An anglesmith is a structural metalworker who specializes in forging, bending, and joining angle iron and other rolled steel profiles. Working with heavy structural members, they heat specific sections of the metal to form sharp corners, curves, or complex brackets without compromising the structural integrity of the profile. Their work is essential in shipbuilding and heavy bridge construction.
