Sorry, I see now that Bill posted info about Book 6 in another thread.

Who do I contact to order a set of books?

Sounding like they will be here next week.

To order the books, or get on the list for book 6, please read the first post. Thanks

My books just arrived and I must say I'm overwhelmed. There's reading material for months to come and to think that there are even more books in the making brightens my day. What a truely remarkable person Tim must've been.

Thanks again for making it possible to hold these books in my hands, when I thought that would never happen, since I missed the first opportunity.

Hello All,
It has been a while since I have posted anything on All Metal Shaping,
I want to 1st thank the efforts and time spent by Bill Longyard and Kent White for getting somewhere with the Books Tim was going to publish, I was so happy to get Book 6 when ordered it arrived in a very timely manor I couldn't wait to read it, full of information,
my question is will Book 7 ever be published? or available to us wanting to know more about our trade? yes I was one of the people that paid in advance for the full set, that is now water under the bridge I just want to finish the set and if it cost so be it you can not find the information you will read in these series of books in any library. I am sure it is some where but it would take years to get it. so Please print book 7 the price is worth the reading.
many thanks again Bill and Kent
Sincerely,
John Escolano

I think you found the thread about Book 7, based on your other posting. It's going to take some time before its available.

A year ago the effort to continue publishing these books started. I am glad for this effort and just wondered if there is anything to report as to the progress on book 7-8? I refer to these books often and I hope the dreams that Tim Barton had continue to live on in all of us .

Andy,

I started working on Books 7/8 in early September, but then went to Europe on a project for three weeks. Upon my return last week, I jumped right back on the project and will hit it hard throughout the winter with an expected completion/publication date in April.

To put it mildly, reconstructing Tim's intentions from his notes is exactly like reverse engineering a car. It takes longer to reverse engineer it than it does to design it!

I've already sent out dozens of requests for photos and information from the people and companies Tim had originally contacted, and everyone has responded positively so far. Some are resending copies of material they sent Tim, while others have updated information...remember, Tim started this project over 10 years ago!

When John Alden got Tim's research material from the family, it turned out there were 31 boxes of notes and photos, but NO computer files. Going through the boxes alone has been a Herculean feat, and I'm still not quite finished. The book will have to be COMPLETELY rewritten and reconstructed.

Be assured that I intend to have this completed by the early spring and I hope to produce the book that Tim wanted to. The more I work with his material the more I feel a sympathetic kinship with a historian and metalworker, who loved his subject.

Bill, I wish a lot of strength. When compiling roots, I understand the effort you are doing to that. For the history of working with love and general knowledge, it is a heroic act. Can I still order the entire set?
