The chapters of this text contains: Forging Materials, Heating Apparatus, Hammers, Sledges, Anvils, Tongs, Swages, Drop Hammers, Power Hammers, Presses, Bulldozers, Bold Headers, Cranes, Smith Welding... and much more.

  • Great book of information
Older information, but I didn’t see straight copied pages. The drawings have taken a hit from reproduction, but they were most likely wood carving to begin with.

  • good book
decent book. i read some reviews that book was out of date, after reading that seemed an unreasonable complaint. the book touches on drop forging, alloy steels and other modern methods of forging but spends most of the content on forging work by fire and hammer. Worth the price.
