Metalworking is the process of working with metals to create individual parts, assemblies, or large scale structures. The term covers a wide range of work from large ships and bridges to precise engine parts and delicate jewellery. It therefore includes a correspondingly wide range of skills, processes, and tools.

Metalworking is a science, art, hobby, industry and trade. Its historical roots span cultures, civilizations, and millenia. Metalworking has evolved from the discovery of smelting various ores, producing malleable and ductile metal useful for tools and adornments. Modern metalworking processes, though diverse and specialized, can be categorized as forming, cutting or joining processes. Today's machine shop includes a number of machine tools capable of creating a precise, useful workpiece.

contemporary representation of hephaestus?
Q. i have a project due at the end of the week over mythology, and a major part of it is to find a modern symbol for the greek god (of fire and metalworking) hephaestus. help please?? this can be a famous person or company or anything contemporary or modern. i have come up with an idea on this. one myth basically says hephaestus created pandora. i could use keith campbell (the man who cloned dolly the sheep) because he(technically) created life. is this an apt metaphor for modern times, hephaestus creating life in pandora to keith campbell creating life in dolly? if not, suggestions are still welcome. and keep in mind, i use the term 'created life' very loosely. thx 4 the help!
