The books are made with passion, full off illustrations made by the autor himself, really good pictures, printed in sweden, published by him self. and writen in swedish you can order them att www.bladsforlag.com div 040.jpg

Price is 960 SEK, a US dollar is worth about 6.50 SEK now so it should turn out to about $148 (without shipping).
I'll add it to my wishlist!

I don't think you would have to know swedish.
Lazze couldn't read english when he was first intrested in metal shaping. He just went by pictures. He did miss the print about using a hammer and bag to rough shape. Looks like it worked pretty good for him! Now if I use the reverse Lazze aproach I just might be onto something. Hummmmmmmmmm. |

I just got my copies today from UPS. I've only had time to do a cursory run through, but this work can be described as an absolute masterpiece. There is a stunning amount of knowledge, art work, photography, tips, and techniques in it. Bengt gave up being a doctor to become a metal shaper, his passion, and he dissects metal shaping with the skill of a surgeon. Utterly breathtaking.
I paid about $185 US to have them shipped, and they got here very quickly although the US Customs folks cut open the box as they often do now. You want something USEFUL for Christmas? This is it.
