[TheForge] Book Recommendations

[Tod Estes]

Justin,  Try this one too.
McDaniel, Randy. A Blacksmithing Primer; a course in basic and intermediate
blacksmithing. (think it is in 2nd Edition) ISBN 0-9662589-0-8  Dragonfly
enterprises.
quoting J Keller <j.keller at sasktel.net>:

> As I'm still fairly new to blacksmithing, I've been ordering in books
> from the library and reading through them.  Parts of them are a bit too
> advanced for me, but I think I'm getting a basic idea of how different
> things work.
>
> These are the books I've read so far:
>
> The Art of Blacksmithing Revised Edition (1995) - Alex W. Bealer
> The Blacksmith's Craft (2005) - Charles McRaven
> American Blacksmithing (1982) - Holstrom and Holford
> The Complete Modern Blacksmith (1997) - Alexander G Weygers
>
> Does anyone have any comments on any of these?  Are they good or bad
> references?  (I'm ignoring the parts that recommend using molten lead
> and asbestos for various things).
>
> Also, are there books that I should be looking for that are better for
> beginners and/or better overall?
>
> Thanks,
> Justin
