Blacksmithing for Beginners: 15 DIY Easy to Make Metal Projects If you've ever needed to do a bit of DIY at home or you've started a woodwork project, you will probably have headed down to the hardware store to buy nails at some point. You can get a box of hundreds of nails for a very small amount of money as they are mass-produced in places like China where the steel is a lot cheaper and the factories can churn out millions of units per hour. It's hard to imagine that just a few generations ago, these nails were handmade by blacksmith on a nail-by-nail basis. Blacksmiths made everything from nails to horseshoes to spears and only 150 years ago, the census taken at the time listed a fifth of the population as being involved in this profession. In the age of mass-production, many trades like this one are dying away and the skills our forefathers used to create tools and building materials are rapidly being lost. Blacksmithing is a creative hobby that can allow you to make useful and artistic objects from metal. In this book we will look at the basics and give you 15 fantastic ideas on how to get creative with metal.
