Default BARTON BOOK 7 COMPLETED; Feb 2018

Hi all,

I'm glad to announce that after three years of effort, and five months of writing, I've finished the manuscript for Tim Barton's Book 7 in his metal shaping history. Just yesterday I received the final contribution from Tim's sister, a tribute to Tim which will end the book.

The book has a few more weeks of compositing and tweaking by Lane Nittler, but we're now only about a month away from its release.

It's been a long journey and I publicly want to thank Kent White, John Alden, and Lane Nittler for being great partners in this long journey. I have a lot of respect for how meticulous Tim was in the previous volumes and hope to have achieved the same level of quality with this one.

It's now time for me to get back to metal shaping!

Thanks to all involved!
i’m sure Tim would be very Happy to see that all his hard work was not just thrown in the trash!
The series will be a great resource for generations to come.

Default Book 7

Yesterday afternoon Book 7, written by Bill Longyard, using Tim Barton’s research materials plus Bill’s, was delivered to Lane. Those on the list have received emails, and she started shipping yesterday.

Interested in buying Book 7? You may contact Lane at the email below, or they are available through Ebay and Amazon. International orders need to go through Ebay due to Amazon’s policies.

Also, Lane has plenty of Books 1 through 6 available. There’s lot’s of information in this series that you won’t find anywhere else.

The story of how Tim’s worked was saved from the dump, is in the foreword of the book. I want to thank Bill for his kind words regarding our team effort. It indeed took us three, plus the efforts of Kent White to pull this off.

Default Books for the future.

Congratulations Bill. Books where experience is written are rare. Perhaps in 500 years, when will the internet is off, someone will find your books, read and started again.
When I will have the possibility, I will to buy.
