Descrição do livro
Steel goes into the forge. A blacksmith comes out.
Introduction to Blacksmithing is a practical, beginner-friendly guide for anyone who has watched the sparks fly and thought, "I want to learn how to do that.
This isn't an encyclopedia designed to bury you in terminology. It gets straight to what matters when you're starting out. Setting up a safe working space, understanding your forge and your fire, choosing the basic tools you actually need, learning working heats, and discovering how hammer control and your tong hand work together to move steel.
Across 81 pages, you'll learn the fundamentals of drawing, tapering, bending, and twisting steel before putting those skills to work on real beginner projects, including an S-hook and J-hook, photographed in a real working forge.
You'll also get an introduction to the road toward forging your first knife, including the skills and decisions that come before putting blade steel into the fire.
Your first piece doesn't need to be perfect. It just needs to be your first.
Real forge photography. Real beginner projects. Practical instruction from the anvil.
Quit watching blacksmithing. Start blacksmithing.
