The New Spruce Forge Manual of Locksmithing

				

				

					The New Spruce Forge Manual of Locksmithing: a Blacksmith's Guide to Simple Lock Mechanisms is a totally revised and expanded version of the original work from 1999. This manual explains, in step-by-step color photos and mechanical drawings how to construct, using forging and benchwork, 14 different types of antique-style locks and keys.
 Making blacksmith locks is an age-old skill the authors of this manual are helping to preserve by passing on their knowledge to this book's readers. The New Spruce Forge Manual of Locksmithing is also an excellent introduction to benchwork. This manual will become a valuable, trusted and often referred to sourcebook in your blacksmithing library.
This new hardcover edition, at 304 pages and with more than 800 color photos and illustrations, is more than double the size of original manual.
Hardcover, 304 pages.
