Elementary forge practice - blacksmithing how to book
This book contains detailed drawings illustrating 42 different exercises for the student blacksmith. They are arranged in order of increasing difficulty and skill. Some, but not all of the techniques taught must be mastered before the student can go on to the next exercise. This is basically the textbook used by the author when he taught forgecraft at Leland Stanford Junior University in California.
Some of the exercises included in the book:
* practice welds - fagot, ring - round lap weld
