Blacksmithing: A Guide to Practical Metalworking, Tools, and Techniques

Blacksmithing has shaped human civilisation since the Iron Age, and today the craft is enjoying a genuine revival among hobbyists and professionals alike. This book offers a photographic introduction to modern blacksmithing practices, guiding novices and enthusiasts through the trade from the ground up. It covers the tools and heating methods involved, from traditional coal-fired forges to electric induction, and demonstrates core techniques including upsetting, collaring, twisting, fullering, and swaging. Structured like a course, it moves from safety, equipment, and workshop setup through to seven complete step-by-step projects, showing the huge range of items a blacksmith can produce, from door fittings and railings to shovels and tools, all illustrated with 180 colour photos throughout.

Written by Daniel Johnson, an artist blacksmith who takes on ironwork commissions and teaches blacksmithing courses through his company, Forgeworks, based in south Norfolk, UK.
