Blacksmith\'s Craft: An Introduction to Smithing for Apprentices and Craftsmen, by Council for Small Industries in Rural Areas (COSIRA), published by Fox Chapel Publishing, East Petersburg, Penn., 2019. 5½ x 8½ paperback, 104 pages, ISBN 978-1-4971-0046-6

Please note this book is new, not used.

This is a facsimile reproduction of the original 1952 instruction manual for intermediate to advanced blacksmiths, that was part of the famous series published by the Council for Small Industries in Rural Areas (COSIRA) of the Rural Development Commission in the United Kingdom.

This is the famous must-have guide for modern blacksmith artisans, who have used The Blacksmith’s Craft to learn the fundamentals of blacksmithing since 1952. This was the first book in famous COSIRA series. This facsimile reproduction of the influential British textbook includes 37 foundational lessons, crisp photography, descriptive captions, and all the timeless knowledge a beginner needs to practice and master to become a skilled blacksmith—from understanding the parts of the hearth, the fire, and the anvil, to essential basics such as drawing, bending, upsetting, punching, drifting, to more advanced skills such as T-shaped pocket welds and forging hexagon heads.
