Great Blacksmithing Book

I highly recommend this book for people who are learning blacksmithing. It has great photos, great tips, explanations, and everything makes sense. Even though I use a propane forge, not a coal forge, I will still buy this book.

Couldn't agree more. I worked for Lorelei part- time when I was in college and she is a wonder both in the shop and out. Such a wonderful person, I am glad she put this book out and I am sure it will help a lot of people.

I don't know much about buying forges, but there are many people who build their own. I'm making one out of an old propane tank.

If you need more info about forges, let me know. There are many web resources for ferriers, ornamental blacksmithing, and types of blacksmithing taht I have never heard of!
