    One word: APPRENTICES :-) 

    Apprenti to chop the charcoal, to prep the fire, to clean the
    smithy, etc... 

    A great book for an intro to this very fascinating tradition, from
    the smelting of the tamahagane out of black sand, to forging,
    polishing, making of the fittings, and even carving the sheath, is
    "The Craft of the Japanese Sword" by Kapp and Yoshihara.
