The individual steps of each job are clearly illustrated with high quality close-up color photos.

As you progress through the book the projects become more difficult and complex and involve forging truly artistic iron sculptures such as a duck in flight, a snail, flowers, a dragon, a nude, and more. The book concludes with two highly specialized projects: making a Damascus steel blade, and the construction of a fully functional hand-forged lock.
