heres one where you can down load a lot of different media books films ect.

http://www.archive.org

and search for anvil , forge etc. All the material is for one reason or another public domain so legal to down load.

all the books are pretty old 1900's and pre. but here is what i found so far


Forge work ([c1912])
Blacksmith shop practice .. (c1910)
Practical blacksmithing. A collection of articles contributed at different times by skilled workmen to the columns of "The Blacksmith and wheelwright" .. (1888-91)
Forge work ([c1912])
Forge-practice (elementary) (1904)

and a few more
You can also get buster keatons 'the blacksmith' there too

happy reading

This isn't a book nor free but I thought it worth including anyway.

Wow, not that i've read or should have known any better but I thought damascus steel was always forge welded layers of different types of steel. I had no idea that real damascus was caused by microscopic alignment of crystals in the steel like this. Amazing...
