There are modern day blacksmiths today how ever, they are few and far between. They can be employed by shipyards or be self employed creating various items from horse shoes to metal decorative gates and even pieces of art. in Canada there is something like 5000 registered blacksmiths. Black smithing is now considered to be a dieing art. a quick search on Google can turn up some really amazingly crafted pieces by these talented people. Some people have a different full time job and then on there off days and free time are black smiths for added income. again though clientel to buy there items can be hard to find.

Yes. There would have been one in every village when horses were the only form of heavy labour in the fields, but there are very few now compared to then. Blacksmiths are now as likely to be found making ornamental garden gates as they are to be shoeing horses.

Blacksmiths are metal workers who shape iron and steel into useful objects, The image that they spend their time shoeing horses, and little else, is not correct. That work is more the talent of a farrier, a specialist in horse hoof care, including the trimming and balancing of horses' hooves and the placing of shoes on their hooves.There are many blacksmiths who create iron bannisters and such for stairways, fences and general decoration. There are also artisan blacksmiths who create artistic works. Some make knives and swords for speciality markets. The working blacksmith creates and repairs mechanical systems.

A larger of the work has been improved with power forges and such. The "visage blacksmith" of poetry is not as common.

Blacksmithing competitions often feature horseshoe making, iron welding by formwork and such but this is a demonstration event.

Hobby blacksmiths all exist.

The main change for a blacksmith has been moving from solid fuel like coal, coke, or charcoal to propane or natural gas forges.

Yes, but there aren't a lot of them. Blacksmithing has become more of an art - although, you can't shoe horses without a blacksmith's skills.
