The Smithy's Craft and Tools

Otto Schmirler

trilingual german, english and french,

translation by Susan Cronemeyer Csoma und Anne Le Hir,

128 pages, black and white, 224 photos and 85 drawings,

dimensions 23 x 28 cm

Schmirler's book is probably the best illustrated of any blacksmith book and covers basics as well as advanced techniques. Schmirler's water colors are worth the price of the book alone but there are also hundreds of closeup photographs of beautiful ironwork. The book has German, French and English text. But it is so well illustrated that an illiterate could learn as much from it as anyone else.

The dozens of water color illustrations clearly show every detail of hundreds of tools. These start with Schmirler's anvil made from his pattern and go on to show the type of special tools that take a life time to develop. [Review by Jock Dempsey]
