I don't know precisely where the line between farrier and blacksmith lies, but I definitely know a farrier (who shoes horses, but does not make his own horseshoes).
Nails are a whole 'nother kettle of fish: authentic forged nails are in (limited) demand for reproduction work. Cut nails and die forged nails (Tremont and Rivierre, respectively) are much loved at a more affordable price where absolute authenticity is a lesser requirement.
Incidentally, the surname Naylor is an occupational surname for a nail maker.
