  1 of 7

  An excellent introduction to Blacksmithing in general and as practiced by a Scandinavian expert. Highly recommend this text for beginners or as general reading.

  What a book! As a beginner blacksmith I have found this book to be an absolute gem. It is written in a quirky but engaging style and is well illustrated. I would recommend this book for anyone with any kind of interest in the craft of blacksmithing. A very worthwhile purchase and an excellent point of reference.

  The book is well written with loads of information and detailed explanation, its not overly wordy but what is written is to the point. Covers topics such as forge set up, making forge tools, axe making, there is also a diagram of a jig used for making axes, it goes into knife making, hardening, tempering and Damascus. All in all a good introduction to Blacksmithing.

  Really fantastic book, I admit that I haven't read all of it yet, but I wanted to recommend wholeheartedly on the strength of what I have read. It is a how-to to set up a forge and a look at all the tools necessary. Some great wisdom and tips are enclosed in these pages. Thoroughly enjoying my reading experience; if you're at all interested in blacksmithing and deliberating please don't, have this book in your collection.

  Written in an interesting way as a dialogue between an apprentice and his master. The translation is at times a bit quirky but this simply adds to the book and makes it very engaging. I just need my own forge now!

  I chose this book for my son who would like to pursue blacksmithing among his many interests. There are no longer places here to teach this craft. The book is excellent and will give him a basis to begin experimenting. Thank you :)
