Back in the 1970's there was a newsletter for armorers (armourers) in the SCA. Many of the topics we discuss here are not new, and questions and answers were given in a quarterly magazine.
Luckily most of the interesting articles were preserved, and are available from http://quietpress.com
# Best of the Hammer Volume 1 - H1 - $14.95
# Best of the Hammer Volume 2 - H2 - $14.95
# Best of the Hammer Volume 3 - H3 - $14.95
# Best of the Hammer Volume 4 - H4 - $14.95
From quenching to annealing to making maille, to making swords, and armor,; working brass, bronze, iron, steel... if you plan on doing much work in metal these are excellent books, and cheaper than many of the blacksmithy tomes I have in my collection. I used these to make my university metalworking classes so much easier, (it's not cheating to have better sources than the teacher...)
