Synopsis

Excerpt from Standard Blacksmithing, Horseshoeing and Wagon Making: Containing Twelve Lessons in Elementary Blacksmithing, Adapted to the Demand on Schools and Colleges of Mechanic Arts

The author of this book has been prompted by two rea sons in the undertaking: First, the phenomenal sale of his first book, Modern Blacksmithing second, by the many letters asking for information on such work as was not treated in that book.

People in general are not aware of the fact that, in our time of manufacture, blacksmithing is almost a lost art, for nearly everything formerly made by the smith is now turned out by machinery. I have never been in a community yet where I did not hear this remark about the smith: Oh, he is a good smith; While the fact is, in many instances, that there was not a real smith within hundreds of miles, and they might very appropriately have joined in the lamentation of old; There is no smith found in all the land of Israel.
