 Practical Projects for the Blacksmith
Book Name: Practical Projects for the Blacksmith Author: Ted Tucker # Pages: 227 ISBN#: 0-9650755-0-8 Publisher: Larson A very well written instructional type book. Whether getting a forge together, managing the fire or forging each piece with a purpose, Mr. Tucker has instructions that make sense and are easy to follow. The book is Loaded with inspirational and workable ideas from ornate to everyday items. Very well presented, great explanations with many drawings and photos. A wide variety of projects that work on developing specific skills and use real time application of those skills. Over all a great book, simple and straight forward enough for those starting, but also in depth and varied enough to hold the attention of mored seasoned Smiths. Tim

cheftjcook, I also have this book bought it about 1980. Yes I agree It is very good book. I would like to also add that there is a good beginner's BBQ forge built with hair dryer as a blower. The hardware and tongs chapter sure helped when I first started blacksmithing. Great book guys look for it at your local library. Keep Hammerin'  Larry |

My friend found this book at a yard sale and got it for a few dollars, then decided to give it to me (dont know if its a compliment or an insult), but either way, I got a decent book. Good for some ideas, and i would have never thought about making a goat yoke.
