No. Either blacksmithing proper or farrying (horseshoes) are skilled
occupations (I know a man that brought his farrier with him, when having
a horse run in Australia, and no, it didn't win.

(Computer controlled cutting of outlines is allowing fancy gates to
be made, the gate itself is done with hammers and anvils. One, whenever
I see it in action, reminds me of the gates of Mordor in the LOTR film.)

Scan it, print it.  Wouldn't be the same as a forging (forging changes 
the microstructure in beneficial ways) but could look pretty close.

Those microstructure changes are important.

No, you would not get Bessemer steel. But it would probably beat
forged and welded.

Tangentially OT: I was at MIT to present seminars on blacksmithing in,
oh, I think '85.  I visited the robotics lab where they had
hacked-together robots that could play paddle ball and could catch a
tennis ball thrown across a room.  I asked about a robot that could do
simple forging with hammer and anvil (and allowing a substitute medium
that didn't have to be red hot to be malleable).  The answer at that
time was, "It's too hard."

Just off hand, I don't think there are *shapes* done at the anvil that
couldn't be 3D printed.  But getting solid steel with structural
strength similar to hand forgings is, AFAIK, still in the future.
Printer-controlled plasma or vapor deposition?  Did the OP cite plaes
doing that for production?  Sis I miss that?

Is that forging done by "feel"?

It's still true today. There is currently no substituted for that sort
of operation. Not done by hand with industrial processes, that
sort of forging is still done by machine and produces a much
better result in what has been produced. Still can't do that with
any 3D printer.

Not when done by machines obviously.

You mean hand forging?  At the anvil, visual, sound and feel all count.
Steel/iron that's too cold or of a less malleable alloy feels
different when you hit it.  I haven't done any bronze forging but I
gather from those who have that feel is very important because the
forging temp is hard to judge visually.  Very important in raising
cold copper where feel tells you when it's time to anneal again.

Don't think so.  Can't think of anything.  Well, except that if you
smell the *wrong kind* of smoke, you've maybe set something on fire
other than the forge fuel and you should have a quick look-around
before the smithy burns down. 

Here's a sound item, though: The old-timers said, "Black-hot irons
burns worse than red hot iron."  Counter-intuitive, eh?

But of you pick up a piece of red-hot iron, you *hear* it sizzle, you
drop it and your hand is in the quench tub before it begins hurt.
Done that myself, which is how I became aware of the explanation.

But if you pick up black-hot iron, it doesn't sizzle.  You first
realize something is wrong when the signal propagates up your arm to
the spinal cord and into your brain and gets interpreted as pain, a
critical few tens of milliseconds later that the audio signal took to
reach your brain in the red-hot case.  (Not to mention that sometimes
skin can stick down to black-hot iron so that when you drop it, skin
goes away with the iron.)

Which, AFAIK, cannot be made now, some of the secrets forgotten.
Again, the Samurei stuff is being made. 
I suppose that the whole concepts are in the `industrial revolution'
idea of replacing skills with basic skills. The middle ages guilds 
to modern replacable workers.

I heard of a story a while ago, of someone going to Japan to find
out more about a company that made a superior product, modern office,
after a lot  of waffle, out back to where a group of half-naked men 
bashed a lump of stuff, as in picture of Coalbrookdale from 200 years
before.

I've wat hed a show on History that highlighted swordsmiths in the US
and Europe who are trying to recover the old style sword making over
1000 AD and before. They stated that some things they have figured
out, but not all things on how swords were made back then.

I was watching a tv show where they were making a replica of a
Mediaeval sword.  The amount of skill shown by the blacksmith was
amazing.  The sword consisted of strips of iron twisted and folded and
hammered until there were about 60 strips altogether then high-carbon
steel cutting edges were hammer welded on and the sword shaped,
sharpened, polished and browned.  They had an original to copy which
had been x-rayed to reveal how it had been made - those anciant
swordsmiths really knew their stuff!

There is a PBS "educational" show that often "borrows" video from the BBC, 
re-cuts it, and adds American narration... the show is called NOVA.  There 
is a NOVA episode like this called "Secrets of the Viking Sword":

Happily not true.  Google "wootz". Here'a a guy I've watched make
wootz steel:

   http://www.northshoreforge.com/page6/index.html

For a pretty good fictional account of what I've see Greg Obach
do for real, read Stephenson's The Confusion.

Pattern welded steel has also had a great resurgence.  Daryl Meier at
(formerly at?) S. Ill. U. has done stunning work that leaves the 19th
c. shotgun barrels in the dust.  Don't have a URL.

I doubt that story but I like it!  Any reference/link by chance?
