 The Backyard Blacksmith
The Backyard Blacksmith ISBN 1-59253--251-9 176 page Lorelei Sims As the books title suggests this book is aimed at the backyard hobby smith. However I would recommend it to any smith at any level. Lorelei starts with the shop setup and tools and goes thru basic techniques, forge welding/joinery, tool making and then puts it all to use with well explained projects and lots of pictures of the details. While none of this is new to blacksmithing "how to books" the high quality pictures and Lorelei's delivery of the material and her sense of humor make this book an enjoyable experience. There are several corrections that Lorelei has acknowledged on her web site and will be addressed in the next printing. Well worth both the price and your time, John

JWBIRONWORKS, in total agreement! I have 6-8 blacksmith books and this is the best for newbies and oldies too! I am using it when teaching one day 'beginner' classes and recommend it to the students for refreshing and project ideas. I rate this book a 10
