5.0 out of 5 stars
Good stuff,
By rager (Cleveland, Oh) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The making of tools (Paperback)
Easily one of the last books I'd ever give away!
I can't compare it to other 'smithing' books, I don't have any others. It's simply written and illustrated in only black and white drawings and charts. One has to get a feel for the temperature, for instance, by experience more than comparing it to a fancy chart.
