Synopsis

This book, destined for high school-aged pupils, provides the basic techniques and foundational knowledge for students stepping into the world of metalworking for the first time. The author, himself an MIT instructor, offers detailed guidance on tool handling, fire building, and the art of welding, all of which are fundamental to the demanding field of blacksmithing. Exercises are provided to aid learning, from basic hammer control and drawing to the complexities of scarfing, twisting, and riveting. Moving beyond theory, the author also sheds light on the nature of iron, steel, and the processes of annealing, tempering, and case hardening. His insights will provide blacksmithing students with the necessary theoretical understanding of metalworking's foundational principles alongside practical skills, thus equipping them for future fabrication projects.
