Tools, Techniques, and 40 Practical Projects for the Home Blacksmith
As more and more people join the do-it-yourself revolution, they are breathing new life into many time-honored skills and crafts. Blacksmithing is among the trades enjoying a resurgence for practical and artistic uses. Yet, there isn’t enough readily accessible information available to beginning blacksmiths to help them get started and understand the craft.
Author Ryan Ridgway, a veterinarian and blacksmith with more than 15 years of metalworking experience, hopes to fill that void with this comprehensive volume geared toward answering the many questions new blacksmiths often have. Ridgway sets his book apart from less detailed volumes by explaining the physics of moving metal, the different styles of anvils and forges, and alternative fuel sources.
Forty practical, easy-to-follow projects are presented, showing aspiring blacksmiths how to make tools, such as hammers and chisels; farm implements, such as gate latches and hoof picks; and items for home use, including drawer pulls and candle holders.
