About this product

Product Information

Teach yourself the lost arts of blacksmithing, tool design, and tool repair. Design, forge, and fix your own tools, hardware, and household accessories with master craftsman and teacher Alexander G.

    I bought this in hopes of a complete black smithing book.. 😑

    I bought this based on reviews.. I should done more research. This is a coblers book. Do you plan on making a pair of scissors??? Or pliers??? Or do you know how to replace a shovel handle??? It is just a jumble of stuff.

    The Complete Modern Blacksmith by Alexander G. Weygers

    This volume is 3 books in 1. I purchased it on the recommendation of several blacksmiths / writers whose books I also own or have read. While a small portion of the material in this volume seems dated (having originally been penned in the 60's), with a little ingenuity and common sense it can be adapted to modern needs.

As a blacksmith-in-training (read "wannabe"), I found this book to be quite entertaining and informative.

    The Complete Modern Blacksmith by Alexander G. Weygers

    I bought this book as a reference for making certain items. The procedures used in the book are good if you understand a little about metals before reading, yet it lacks sufficient depth for someone more experienced. Overall it's an easy read although some of the subject matter is getting out of date. I like the book and it is a good value for anyone interested in blacksmithing and learning about an old art.
