    Design, forge, and fix your own tools, hardware, and household accessories with master craftsman and teacher Alexander G. Weygers.

    This unique resource brings together three popular but long-out-of-print classics:

    • The Modern Blacksmith, which covers everything from developing the correct hammer and body motions for forging and creating tools such as pliers, shovels, and hinges.
    • The Recycling, Use, and Repair of Tools, which stresses the reuse of old materials, featuring easy-to-follow processes.
    • The Making of Tools, which explores how to design, sharpen, and temper whichever tool you need, using only basic shop equipment and scrap steel.
     
    A truly invaluable resource, The Complete Modern Blacksmith is an essential volume in any craftman's library.
