Product Description

The Blacksmith’s Craft
A Primer of Tools & Methods

Author: Charles McRaven

About this book

Setting up your own forge and crafting everyday items is easier than you might think. Charles McRaven, a master blacksmith, guides you step-by-step through the process of building a simple forge from recycled materials, acquiring or crafting the basic tools, and learning the techniques to get you started in blacksmithing. McRaven, who began smithing out of a desire to make his own tools for building and restoring hewn-log homes, demonstrates his simple methods in easy-to-follow photos throughout this book. Working under his tutelage, you'll find yourself encouraged and confident that you, too, can create items of lasting beauty and durability from iron and steel.

Blacksmith's Bible

Posted by Angela Trethewey on 3rd Apr 2010

This book never leaves my side. It is a brilliantly straight forward and unpretencious manual on the basics of blacksmithing. The content is perfect for anyone interested in the subject, whom has little or no experience. The projects are varied, practical and inspiring.

Charles McRave writes with humour and demonstrates throughout his book that he is a true teacher. I have and will in the future, recommend this book to anyone. It will become a constant reference to any humble smith.
