My husband is an amateur blacksmith, so I'm often looking for creative and informative books to give him about this craft. I bought this book based on its beautiful cover and the great narrative I read at Amazon about its contents. Once my husband received it, I was even more sure I'd made a good purchase. He LOVED the book - got so many great ideas from it - and found numerous helpful websites and practical applications. This is a must-have for any blacksmith you may know.

I preordered this book, not really knowing what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised. This book is a wonderful collection of photographs of modern blacksmiths works. It has a lot of those smiths who have become known as masters within the community. It was well worth it, just to see what other smiths were doing.

Great range and diversity of art. Beautifully photographed. Informative text. An author I highly recommend.

This has many interesting pictures of decorative ironwork. Useful for ideas of art work done with wrought iron. The Contemporary Blacksmith
