A good intro to blacksmithing A good intro to blacksmithing. Nothing beats on the job training, but this book will hopefully give you enough insight to get you started. I am surely an amateur blacksmith, I've only made a few things and I learned from a guy with a small backyard smithy. I got the book to learn the more technical aspect and to overall increase my knowledge in the hobby. I have built an anvil stand from ideas I got from this book. I'm currently building my own gas forge. This book does not deal with gas forges all that much. It is mainly focused on old school coal forging. No matter how you heat your metal, the other techniques are still the same.A Great Buy for Any Tinkerer! I bought this as a gift for my dad who likes to dabble in craftsmanship in his spare time. He loved it and said it had a lot of useful, interesting, and unique things within for one to learn, and if the crazy cool stuff he's been making since receiving it has anything to say of it, I have to say this was a great buy!Not for beginners I was looking forward to this book, '' Backyard" being the key. Unfortunately she glazes over the whole blacksmith furnace thing with barley a paragraph that covers the most important part! The furnace... So we get to see this back yard black smith use 10k of forging equipment and pounding machines. Not for beginners. The part on anvils is helpful, but they should take backyard out of the title and change it to Professional Blacksmith with lots of expensive equipment at their disposal. Meanwhile on Forged in Fire, real backyard blacksmiths are doing things in their backyard with hair dryers and coal boxes..
