I guess smithing might be different again from wood working.

I get the impression that each hammer blow can only do a little bit, so perhaps you wouldn't wish for a backspace key for smithing.

I feel like Woodworking is mostly about removing material, while blacksmithing is a little less so? Disclaimer all my woodworking experience is from shop class in elementary and all blacksmithing is from YouTube.

Blacksmithing is mostly moving material around. If you fuck up, you can probably just move it back.
