While the primary interest of most members is blacksmithing, many members are interested in a variety of forms of metalworking. Therefore, we encourage all persons, members and non-members to submit original articles on all subjects related to metal working. Articles should be sent to:

IRON MENAGERIE

Several years ago a few of our members collaborated on writing and publishing a "how to book" on forging animal heads. The result of this effort is the book, Iron Menagerie, which explains how to forge fifteen different animal heads. A sample page (#5 the Duck Head) may be printed from your browser (That is why the image is sideways) The book shows a photograph and text for each and every step in forging an animal head. This book is unique in that it clearly shows every step inmaking an animal head that any person with a minimal amount of experience can easily follow. All proceeds from the sale of this book go to The Guild of Metalsmiths Education Fund.The book may be ordered for $17.95 plus shipping and handling from Norm Larson Books, 5426 Highway 246, Lompoc, CA 93436, telephone (805) 735-2095. larbooks@mail.impulse.net

Graphics excerpted from Iron Menagerie will be displayed on this web page in the near future

Guild of Metalsmith's Video Library

The Guild Video Library now contains a large collection of DVDs, most of these have been filmed at GoM events or other local area events. Many of these DVDs are similar or even identical to the tapes in the existing tape library, but some are new to our library and are only available in DVD format (for now). The charge for renting these tapes is the same as for renting a tape - $3 per title. Currently there is no option for buying a copy of the DVD. When requesting these items, be sure to specify the item as Dxx instead of Txx to distinguish between tape and video. Entries in the Tape library will have a cross reference to the DVD (if it exists) following the tape number.
