"The Modern Blacksmith" is at Half Price Books. I think I will go back and get it.

: Ivan is absolutely correct.

: For anybody interested in metalworking or home-made tools, the
: books by Alexander Weygers ("The Making of Tools",
: "The Modern Blacksmith") are invaluable. If you have a
: decent public library, you should be able to find them. Used
: copies are available fairly cheaply via Abebooks .

: Put that old hibachi to use for annealing steel!
