One of the common tools to represent a blacksmith's shop is the bellows used to make wind for fire. There are two kinds of the bellows; one is hand bellows and the other is foot bellows. You need use your hands to make wind with the former and your feet with the latter. Hand bellows are divided into Dokdakbulmi and Tobulmi; with Dokdakbulmi, a blacksmith heated and hammered on a piece of iron tempered from cast iron to make a knife or a weeding hoe. It was easy to make wind with Tobulmi, which contributed to the process that a blacksmith melted iron in a blast furnace and poured the melted iron liquid into a mold of a kettle, a plow, and a moldboard. The one displayed at the Jeju Folk Village Museum is a Dokdakbulmi.
