How is metal made?

from Imagine This Hosted by Australian Broadcasting Corporation

Cash, Ben, Jonathan and Harriet all want to know, how is metal made? And Henry asks, why does metal feel colder than other stuff? Hear ye, hear ye! Knight Nij is about to make his debut at the medieval fair until disaster strikes… His steel sword broke in half! He can’t fight dragons like this… We’re off to visit blacksmith and metallurgist Dr Matthew Humbert to see if he can help fix Nij’s sword and teach us how metal is made… Things are about to get hotter than a dragon’s mouth!
