A PDF e-book designed to be read on smartphones, tablets or computers. This is a compilation of notes, thoughts, equipment recommendations, up-to-date internet links and how-to information that I have assembled from my experience over the years. This is not a guide that will teach you how to forge, that is a skill you must master through the physical act itself. This is a reference manual of sorts with information that will help you as you begin. Included is advice for people just getting started, equipment definitions and recommendations, power forging equipment info, detailed gas forge build notes, a starting equipment guide, a hand-drawn basic bladesmithing tutorial, and more. There are active links and up to date information and pricing for equipment recommendations, vendors, videos and other great how-to resources I have found useful. A PDF e-book designed to be read on smartphones or computers. Once purchased you will be sent a link to download. Future updates will be available to those who have purchased the e-book.

Current update - October 2022 - 85 pages v3
