During my research into the subject, I came across some information that directed me to this title. This book covers everything from lighting a coal forge to a few, basic blacksmithing projects. The different types of tools and their uses are explained; mostly traditional tools (hammers, tongs, etc) but some modern tools and their uses are covered as well. There is a lot of information in this book and as a novice, I would consider this book a wonderful primer for anyone interested in the subject. The information it contains is easy to understand and the pictures help to reinforce the text. This book inspired me to give blacksmithing a try and I hope to be setting up my own "Backyard Blacksmith shop" in the near future. I've yet to pick up a blacksmith hammer and strike hot iron, but after reading the included instructions on the various smithing techniques, I feel like I could complete most of the exercises and perhaps a few of the easier projects this book contains. If you never pick up the hammer, I think you would still enjoy this book, as it gives great insight into the world, work and art of traditional blacksmithing. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co/products/1609023-the-backyard-blacksmith](https://www.desertcart.co/products/1609023-the-backyard-blacksmith) --- *Product available on Desertcart Colombia* *Store origin: CO* *Last updated: 2026-05-26*
