This book was published to meet the needs of craftsmen, technical schools and apprentices’ training centers. The skill of the smith has been faithfully recorded in sequences of still photographs married to brief descriptive captions. The sequences are arranged in lessons which should not be difficult to follow if text, drawings and photographs are carefully studied. Some of the methods shown and described are not the only ones possible. In such cases the variations have been carefully considered, and the methods chosen have been those which seemed best for the beginner: as he gains experience, the smith can develop his own variations of a technique.

User friendly PDF file format, the CD is Microsoft Windows as well as MAC compatible.
