The perfect resource for starting work in metal forging, this guide introduces the traditional techniques from a modern perspective.

With clear instructions and over 500 detailed full-color photos throughout, the book introduces the craft’s materials and tools, from the raw material (iron and steel), to the fuels, to the forge and its accessories.
Next, basic techniques in eight key subject areas are taught step by step.

A creativity-inspiring photo gallery features a selection of pieces by artists worldwide.
