Forge: a place were Iron or Steel are given either Thermal or Physical treatment. Craft:  Is the dexterity and knowledge in giving the required shape or treatment. Those two definitions tell you what is covered in great detail in this book - everything from the different types of steel and pig iron, to how to make twists in a Wrought Iron Gate. The list of illustrations covers four pages in the front of the book; photo after photo. We think you'll see that this is a gem. Lindsay reprinted it almost 20 years ago, let it rest, and now have brought it back, most likely for the last time. If beating iron with a hammer is your thing, add this to your library. 175 pages, profuse illustrated with large number of B&W photos which have reproduced well. Paperback. Lindsay Publications.
