I whole heartily agree that smithing is more than just banging on metal...I am a youth pastor and am currently in collage seeking my masters in Religion Studies.... I believe that God made man with the desire to create and make things with our hands. We have a primitive desire to form and mold something from nothing in a sense what God did with us when he created humanity. This is not saying that we play at being God but that the desire to create is in our souls and for those of us lucky enough to discover this about ourselves it can be a time of development and growth... That's just my 2 cents.
