2 hrs
boilermaking, cauldronmaking, metallurgy


Explanation:
The most literal translation is boilermaking, followed by cauldronmaking. But, the last definition is also listed in Larousse.

If you are looking for a place rather than a profession, they would be boilermaking shop, cauldronmaking shop, and foundry or metal shop.

Hope it helps!
