An excellent book on general technique
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
I am a beginning smith and I found this book to be excellent. It spells out the main foundation techniques of forging in clear terms and has excellent illustrations. It also has a large section of work done by famous artists and smiths. There is also an excellent section on heat treating that is the most informative out of all the books I have. It is overall and invaluable book for anyone interested in forge work.
