Backyard Blacksmith

Traditional Techniques for the Modern Smith

Lorelei Sims

With an increasing interest and revival in the art of blacksmithing as a hobby, both men and women are becoming at-home blacksmiths. This book's detailed step-by-step full-color exercises teach all the universal skills and techniques used to forge iron; like having a master blacksmith by your side. It provides readers with an understanding of the properties and characteristics of forging hot metal, making the craft accessible to those without previous experience. There are more than twenty beautiful and functional projects organized by level of difficulty which allow new blacksmiths to progress at their own pace.
