This book teaches the processes and techniques of a traditional trade, the forge, using the techniques of yesterday and today. Through photographs and a clear text, the necessary tools are shown, the presentations of iron and other materials are described, and the techniques are explained, both of the forge and of the welding and cutting methods that allow creative works such as the exercises that are proposed step by step. One of them is the construction of a large sculpture through industrial processes. On the final pages, in an image gallery, a sample of works that other artists have made with the forge is offered.
