Learn how to build your own forge, acquire and make your own tools, and learn basic blacksmithing techniques to create lasting and beautiful items from iron and steel.

Blacksmithing is one of the traditional lost arts deserving re-discovery by anyone interested in DIY building and crafting. Charles McRaven, an accomplished blacksmith, discovered the craft when he moved back to the land in the 1970s and shares his knowledge in The Blacksmith's Craft. Creating one's own tools and instruments from metal enhances woodworking, stonework, building, and restoration work. In his readable and humorous style, McRaven tells readers all they need to know to begin blacksmithing to craft everyday items. Simple and clear instructions, supplemented by step-by-step photography, show how to build a forge from accessible materials, how to make and/or acquire tools, and how to use those tools to create items of lasting beauty and durability. 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.
