Download or read book Blacksmith Artisan Within the Early Community written by Vernon S. Gunnion and published by . This book was released on 2009-05 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is somewhat difficult to imagine the need for and reliance on the blacksmith by the rural community of 200 years past. The smith combined the work of the welding shop, the service station, and the hardware store in one man. Every community, however small, had need of one, and as a result there were greater numbers of smiths than of any other craftsmen during the 18th and 19th cent. This is the catalog of a special exhibition showing tools and implements collected by Henry and George Landis late in the 19th century. They gave a priority to the tools and products of early craftsmen, especially the blacksmith. The catalog includes an introduction to the work and importance of blacksmiths. Includes over 100 photos.

Download or read book Traditional Blacksmithing written by J. G. Holmstrom and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-02-06 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Only an experienced blacksmith with genuine care for his craft and the livelihood of all blacksmiths could produce such a wonderful guide. Holmstrom provides not just practical instruction for all manner of small-scale blacksmith work, but intersperses his guidance with more general life lessons for blacksmiths, such as not falling prey to “habits of intemperance.” More than a snapshot of a bygone era, the style and the content of Traditional Blacksmithing will appeal to readers of today, thanks to Holmstrom’s generous and patient approach. Topics covered include: setting up shop, building your own machinery, repairing horse hooves, fixing your tools, and even building a strong reputation in the community.
Download or read book Colonial Wrought Iron written by Don Plummer and published by Skipjack Press, Inc.. This book was released on 1999 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colonial Wrought Iron is a photographic survey of early wrought iron work in America with 506 photographs from the Sorber Collection. The colonial period in America was centered around the blacksmith who was the maker and creator of these items. The informational text explains the characteristics and the conditions of the period in which the iron was forged. Colonial Wrought Iron is an invaluable resource tool for the blacksmith involved making reproduction hardware and related items, as well as an inspiration for merging form and function. In this book you will find the commonplace and the ornate but they all reflect the hand of fine craftsmanship. The work displayed in Colonial Wrought Iron is from the collection of Jim Sorber. Jim, now in his eighties, has been an avid collector for 70 years. This collection is a result of a life steeped in an enduring appreciation for the skills of his ancestors. Even as a child he was interested in their hand tools and the wonderful things they made. That interest soon grew into a passion. A unique aspect of Jims collection is that it reflects a certain ethnic influence. Much of his collecting has been done near his home in the counties of Berks, Chester, Lancaster, Lebanon, Lehigh, Montgomery and Schuylkill. This area has been settled by German immigrants since the mid-to-late 17th century. Jims collection, many pieces of which are signed and dated, reflects an iron chronicle of the Pennsylvania Dutch migration westward from the Philadelphia area.
