About the Book

A Blacksmithing Primer (Revised Edition) by Master Blacksmith Randy McDaniel is a modern classic in the craft, relied upon by thousands of smiths, schools, and hobbyists around the world. Selling more than 40,000 copies, this authoritative guide bridges traditional technique and modern instruction with clarity and precision.

This updated hardcover edition features durable lay-flat binding for workshop use and over 400 detailed drawings that illustrate every step of the process. McDaniel begins with foundational shop knowledge—tools, forge setup, fuels, and safety—then moves systematically through hammering techniques, heating methods, and controlled forging practices. The book culminates in a rich series of projects and lessons that teach the practical skills needed to fabricate tongs, chisels, scrolls, and decorative forms, progressing to advanced methods such as heat treating, twisting, and forge welding.

Recognized for its conversational, easy-to-follow tone, A Blacksmithing Primer has been praised by readers for its accessibility, logical progression, and the author’s ability to make complex processes understandable. Educators often adopt it as a textbook for beginning blacksmithing courses, and reviewers call it a “superb instructional manual” and “a great reference book for both novices and experienced smiths.”

Concluding with plans for a forge table, firebox, and anvil fabrication, along with resources for further training, this volume remains the essential foundation text for the resurgence of the craft. Durable, clearly written, and thoroughly field-tested, A Blacksmithing Primer continues to set the standard for blacksmithing education and practice.
