Blacksmithing Learn to Forge And Master The Art Of Modern And Traditional Blacksmithing And Become A Real Craftsman: Blacksmithing, How To Blacksmith, ... Knife Making, Bladesmith, Foging, Metal) by Brian Price

by Brian Price

We all have heard of blacksmithing but have never had a chance to really get a deeper understanding of what it entails. It is actually an interesting form of art but one that isn’t practiced by many. The truth is that it offers one an opportunity to express their creativity in the best way possible. This book is the best guide for you as it will take you through all the basics of blacksmithing and more of what you need to Every chapter has a specific goal and I believe the book will offer the best learning ground whether you are a beginner or just a blacksmith who needs to learn more. It is therefore my hope that you will easily gain much if not all of what you needed to know.

About the author

Librarian Note: There are more than one author in the Goodreads database with this name.

I am a chemist and biologist. I worked for many years in the environmental field and as an Open University tutor. I am also an avid crime reader.

I turned from science to crime when I attended Crimefest in Bristol, in 2016. I found the crime writing community open and friendly so I resolved to use my knowledge of science to help authors get scientific details correct. I have advised a number of leading crime writers on scientific topics. In 2019 my website www.crimewriterscience.co.uk metamorphosed into the book Crime Writing: How to Write the Science.

In the same year, I won a competition, run by the Facebook group Crime Fiction Coach, to find the best opening line for a crime novel. I then had no option but to write the book to go with that line! The result was Fatal Trade, published on 14th September 2021 by Hobeck Books. Fatal Beginnings, a free novella introducing some of the characters, is available at www.hobeck.net

Fatal Hate followed in April 2022 and Fatal Dose in January 2023.

Several of my short stories are published in the Writers in Stone anthologies Cuckoo, Lock and Key and Seventy Three. One of my stories appears in The Dark Side of Christmas, a charity anthology produced by Hobeck Books, and another in the Crime Writers Association anthology Music of the Night. I also contributed a recipe and short story to the Hobeck 2022 charity collection Cooking the Books
