The occupation was blacksmith and as was the custom way back when, they got their names ffom their occupations. So I'm thinking Smith. Very nice anvil and tools. And as usual underrated so far.

I think Smith is correct, but I think it could also be Ferrier, since it that looks like a horseshoe being made.

Mark, the word you're looking for is farrier, and sorry, it's the wrong shape for a horseshoe.

I think Norma is correct. I think the tools are a hammer and tongs.

Yes, a Smith uses hammer, anvil, and tongs.

Arrowsmith, blacksmith, bladesmith, brownsmith, coinsmith, fendersmith, goldsmith gunsmith, locksmith pewtersmith redsmith, scythesmith, silversmith, swordsmith, tinsmith, weapon-smith, whitesmith, zincsmith. There are also modern smiths.

Just getting around to solving. Could tell right away it was Smith. Very clear illustration, Brian.

Very nice puzzle. Thanks. Great use of the accent color.

I'm getting told that there are multiple solutions. But I don't see how I can modify the solution I found to make it the "correct" solution.

Well, I just turned some pixels on and off and now it seems ok. Can bad internet connections cause weird glitches like this?

Some people have had issues with some browsers that don't work quite as they should with this site. It's something you might look into.

I am a blacksmith, and I've done a little whitesmithing. If I mix them, I should get greysmithing...

Nah, Ill just stick to puzzlesmithing.

Glad to hear that, Joe.

Great job on the tools Brian

OK

Ah, but what does a blacksmith do with said hammer, tongs, and anvil but strike... therefore Striker; and now (3 years later) we may proceed to make Airplane! references--go! :)

Could conceivably be Eisenmann, which translates as Ironman.

Then again there's Schmidt...

I think this is the fist time in ages I've seen an anvil without a coyote around :))
