This title in other editionsPractical Blacksmithing: Part Twoby M. T. Richardson
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Here are the third and fourth of M. T. Richardson's four clasic books on blacksmithing combined into an easy-to-handle volume. Together with its companion volume, containing Richardson's first and second books, it provides a basic resource for the modern blacksmith.
Principally, Vols. III and IV guide the reader through more practical descriptions of the central smithing processes, covering welding, brazing, soldering, forging, cutting, bending, setting, and tempering. This book will be of particular interest to those working on carriages, as it includes information on how to work with such things as carriage irons, wagons, tires, horseshoes, axles and springs, as well as how to make a bob sled. Richardson's in-depth, practical information, with it's emphasis on technique and craftsmanship, provides invaluable knowledge bound to excite a new generation of blacksmiths. Review:"...one of the very few classical blacksmithing books." The Fine Tool Journal Review:"Since its initial publication, this book has inspired, challenged and educated several generations of blacksmiths, metalworkers, collectors of old tools, and historians." The Anvil?s Ring Book News Annotation:This second volume in a two-volume set condenses the third and fourth
of Richardson's four classic books on blacksmithing, most recently
published in 1891, in their original order and form. It focuses on
the central smithing processes, emphasizing technique and
craftsmanship, and offers particularly valuable information on
carriage work. Includes original line drawings and a new foreword.
