The Blacksmith’s Journal is published monthly (near the 15th of each month) in downloadable (.pdf) format. When you buy an e-subscription, you are setting up an on-line subscription account with username and password that you will use to log into for access to the issues that you download during your subscription year.

You will receive about 192 printable pages per subscription year that you can take out to the blacksmith's shop or arrange them for personalized referencing. You can collect each issue as they are published monthly or order back issues for specific information you need right away. The Blacksmith's Journal is fully illustrated with step-by-step instructions and shop drawings, showing you how to use techniques, make tools, produce architectural and decorative elements, as well as taking you through projects from start to finish. Design and layout ideas give you the inspiration for the creative use of these blacksmithing techniques. Each page is purely informational; no newsy chatter, no announcements, and no advertising mixed into the pages. We'll alert you by email when each new issue is available so you can log in to retrieve it.
