About This Book

A practical manual offers step-by-step instruction on forge layout, tools, fire control, and core smithing operations such as welding, brazing, scarfing, and upsetting, while surveying electric and oxy-acetylene methods. It explains metal behavior and heat treatments, with guidance on making and tempering tools like tongs, chisels, punches, and specialized shop fittings. The text then progresses to applied art smithing, presenting graded projects—leaves, scrolls, grilles, latches, hinges, lamps, and decorative hardware—emphasizing efficient shop practice, finishing techniques, and the adaptation of design to the properties of wrought iron and steel.
