Coming January 2026!
In 2022 I was contacted by Jo Bryant of Blue Red Press about writing a blacksmithing how-to book. I started it while I was nursing my daughter, and finished it up while I was nursing my son! I am proud of this book and hope it will be interesting, insightful, and instructive to anyone interested in practicing or teaching blacksmithing.
This book will be available January 28, 2026, in the US and Canada, and internationally March 28, 2026. Preorder now at the links below!
This book is divided into two sections, information and projects. The information section contains chapters like The Blacksmith’s Shop, Health and Safety, Metallurgy, and Health and Safety. Projects are grouped by the techniques covered. For example, the Tapers section has three projects, a nail hook, s hook, and spoon. Each project builds on the information learned in the previous project.
