<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"The author gives detailed information on the science behind metalworking, how metal moves, and how to work with heated metal. He explains the origins of blacksmithing, the required equipment, and safety precautions before presenting step-by-step illustrated instructions for making useful and decorative items for indoor and outdoor use in the home, in the yard, and on the farm"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>As more and more people join the do-it-yourself revolution, they are breathing new life into many time-honored skills and crafts. Blacksmithing is among the trades that are enjoying a resurgence for both practical and artistic uses, yet there isn't an abundance of readily accessible information available to beginning blacksmiths to help them get started and understand the craft. Author Ryan Ridgway, a veterinarian and blacksmith with more than 15 years of metalworking experience, hopes to fill that void with this comprehensive volume geared toward answering the many questions that new blacksmiths often have. By explaining the physics of moving metal, the different styles of anvils and forges, and alternative fuel sources, Ridgway sets his book apart from less detailed volumes. Forty practical, easy-to-follow projects are presented, showing aspiring blacksmiths how to make tools, such as hammers and chisels; farm implements, such as gate latches and hoof picks; and items for home use, including drawer pulls and candle holders.</p>
