REVIEW
by Jock Dempsey
This is the third in a series covering more advanced techniques as applied to traditional decorative ironwork.
The series includes The Blacksmith's Craft, Wrought Ironwork and Decorative Ironwork.
These books were created by CoSira to provide texts for teaching and preserving basic rural arts and crafts.
The step-by-step instructions are illustrated by both photographs and detailed scale drawings.
The drawings include details of projects and tools.
The tool details include a multi-purpose stake, a double ended specialty hammer, special chisels, an anvil horn (bending fork),
offsetting and bending tools, a vise dog, and a twisting wrench.
