A Blacksmith's Craft: The Legacy of Francis Whitaker - A Compendium of Processes, Tools, Patterns and Tips

Some comments on 'A Blacksmith's Craft': "If you could only have one blacksmithing book, this would be the one." - Clay Spencer". There is not a better introduction to the art, craft and philosophy of Blacksmithing - inspirational." - Mark McKay. "FANTASTIC" . "This book will become the 'standard' by which all others will be measured." "I am thrilled with what you have done for the blacksmithing community."' A Blacksmith's Craft' is a compendium for blacksmiths of all levels to preserve techniques and processes essential for the mastery of traditional blacksmithing. Several years in the making, this is a serious expansion of Francis Whitaker's first book with over 800 photos and drawings. Francis Whitaker wanted a real reference work this time and this is Volume I of that ambitious project. There is lots of input in these books from blacksmiths all over the place. The sad part is that Francis died before Part 1 was completed but he was very clear on how he wanted it done. He would be very happy with the book. The publisher will also give a portion of the profits from this book to The Francis Whitaker Blacksmith's Educational Foundation.
