Mostly useless to me.
From the get-go, much of the jargon is undefined, rendering most of the information useless gibberish to the beginner. This book is written only for those who are planning to use traditional charcoal or coke forges--there is one mention of propane in the the book. The projects are for making items no one needs to make, like a crowbar or a "spring hook."
