If you've ever yearned to fire up the forge somewhere not far from the spreading chestnut tree, then this is the book for you. While its name "professional smithing" implies that this is a book for the advanced blacksmith, it begins with an overview of the tools needed in the shop of the modern artist blacksmith and addresses the techniques for their use. The balance of this well illustrated work is devoted to the detailed review of the forging of specific objects, each of which employs a range of techniques. By studying the tricks used in making hinges, forks, locks and much more, the reader will become well versed in the art of the blacksmith.
