Well, I haven't noticed any actual mistakes, everything I've looked at will
actually work, but in my opinion, he's not very efficient- if there's a long
and comp;icated way to do something, and a quick and easy way to do
something, it seems, most of the time, he'll go the hard way. Most of the
other books I've read tend to be by actual working smiths, as opposed to
hobbyists, and they don't have time for his methods.

I'll go get my copy out of the truck in the morning, when I can SEE, and
give y'all a couple examples then ;-)

"When in doubt, heat it up and hit it with a hammer."
 Blacksmith's credo.

 If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it is probably not a
cat.

Never a horse that cain't be rode,
And never a rider who cain't be throwed....
