About this title

Synopsis:

Virtually every task beginning and intermediate blacksmiths must master is presented in this excellent book. Over 400 detailed drawings help increase comprehension levels. This is a reference manual that will be found lying open on the workbench more often than found on the bookshelf and is highly recommended to anyone swinging a hammer to shape hot metal. This is an excellent introduction to this glorious craft and an excellent resource for advancing your knowledge, skills, and vision for blacksmithing.

About the Author:

Randy McDaniel began his experience in blacksmithing with an 81-year-old blacksmith in 1972. That was the spark that ignited his passion for forging hot metal. He has taught basic and advanced workshops for more than twenty years. He was also a lecturer/demonstrator for the 1990 Artist-Blacksmith Association of North America's International Conference.
