Hello,
Please take a look at our website at: http://www.dawnapproaches.com/.....thing.html
We carry an excellent blacksmithing collection – 115 books on DVD-Rom for $9.99. Over 35,000 pages of blacksmithing resources and old out of print vintage blacksmithing books on 1 DVD-ROM. Out of print books on the old skills that are now basically lost that we have taken the time to gather and compile all in one place. We have cleaned up and procured the best copies of these old vintage books. It is a very good resource. Take a look if you're interested in these materials. We are a verified paypal business and ship within 48 hours.

Until someone has a chance to check it out. The last reference I bought for my Chevy big block was so small and blurry that it was unreadable. Sure hope this disk is readable 🙂
Please let us know when you get them...

For those who are considering ordering here are some screen captures so you have an idea of the clarity of the images.

Printed out the first image, just a bit fuzzy but more than adequate for reading or printing.
Don't know or who did the scanning, thats a lot of pages to scan.
I have used professional negative scannning services on old negs. 1000/2000 dpi on B&W negs then put on cd. did that for rewrite of Antler and Iron.
Looking forward to the CD.

Well, these are just screen images. I would expect the PDF's they were derived from to be better.

I was playing around with Google Books and they had a few old forging books for free. I love reading old books like that so I think I'm going to have to look into it.
That dentist photo is pretty messed up 🙂 Got a good chuckle from it.

Have you Googled "Dental welders"? There are some interesting products listed.
When I took Welding for Dentists we learned with gas, as the previous post illustrated, and without gas for advanced work. Note the mandatory use of safety equipment.

Did you get your cd yet Grant? I got mine, can't open it, and my computer sees nothing on the disc. I emailed the folks I bought it from and haven't heard back. Reminds me of the story about the young man knocking on the whorehouse door. When asked "what do you want?" "I want to get screwed." "Well slip a twenty under the door." You can guess the rest. Shafted baby!:furious:

I got the cd and it opened fine and all the pdf's, wow lots of info there. The pages can be printed but not be dragged and dropped in Photoshop. There are some possibilties for blacksmith clip art and nice blacksmith rainy day reading.
If your disk is blank there must be some mistake on the sellers end.
I double check every CD I sell before mailing and a couple times cought a blank cd.
