Technology gets more and more complicated in an effort to provide more and better goods at a lower cost. New technology provides impressive levels of productivity but requires very high investments. The backyard blacksmith does not need the new high-priced technology. Old methods will do. In Blacksmith Shop & Iron we see that blacksmithing is more about learning th general method of working iron with simple tools and the skill gained from a long apprenticeship. Here you will learn skills that are usually not covered in other blacksmithing books. Since this is a reprint of a book published at the turn of the century when blacksmithing was very much alive, you can be sure that what you read here is genuine and useful.
