A whitesmith made (forged or hammered) impliments of iron and then filed or
ground them smooth and free from scale.  Things such as kitchen tools, pipe
tongs, and other things that would be handled were made in this fashion.  So,
a Whitesmith is a Blacksmith that finishes his work by filing it clean.
