Professional Smithing

This is one of the very few manuals written by a recognized professional smith - in this case with over 50 years experience - whose work appears in hundreds of restorations throughout the country.

Long unavailable and a collector's item, this eagerly awaited reprint completely reproduces the original edition. Here traditional smithing techniques are presented in clear, step-by-step text and photographs, enabling the reader to produce high-quality, hand-forged small ironwork. Included are detailed descriptions of work space - layout, specialized tools and techniques, whitesmithing, toolmakings, and locksmithing.

Softcover; 134 pages.
