I am helping an metal worker filling out a for in English but I am stuck when it comes to the names of the tools in Spanish. I know some of them in French but do not know them in English.
The man I am with cannot spell and I cannot either so I am not sure of the spelling of the words either:
hunque
tenasa de fragua
atisador de fuego (poker?)
fragua (forge?)
taladro ( drill is there a special name for metal drill?)
cincel sinsel
maso de peña.

I do not any kind of decent dictionary so your hel is greatly appreciated.

forge, poker, tongs, pincers, hammer, chisel, drill.

Also needed is air for forge, from bellows, or blower.

taladro ( drill is there a special name for metal drill?)

Just remembered that black smiths use a round pointed chisel and hammer a hole through red hot metal.

(like putting your finger through butter:)

this man uses metal drills to do his work as well as chisels and hammer.
Is there a special name for the very large hammer versus the small hammer with rounded hedges?
His forge is made of clay bricks, I will have to see how the air is blown in there as he has no bellows maybe he has a blower, I just do not remember seeing it.
