Sinopsis

Are you spending more resources making the same boring, flawed knife? 
You have made your first knife, a few maybe, but you still feel like you could improve and expand your skills.  
You have joined all forums, scoured the internet for material, but still find yourself a little bit short on information? 
Are your knives losing their edge after sharpening them a few times? Are small details of imperfection in your blades bothering you? Do you want to never make those imperfect blades again? 
I, Wes Sander, will share with you powerful techniques to take your bladesmithing skills to the next level 
In this book you will learn about: 
• The most cost-effective way to make a knife 
• The secrets of making a Damascus knife in just 9 steps 
• How you can make your first sword, in just 17 steps, start to finish 
• The secrets of Japanese blade making 
• A simple technique, used by master bladesmiths, that will prevent your blade from shattering 
• The #1 high-performance steel that you should use to make knives 
• Lost wax casting, an important technique that is rarely included in smithing books 
• 10 essential tools that you need to have when bladesmithing 
• 1 blade sharpening tip, to help you create the perfect edge 
• How to build a simple but effective forge 
• Metallurgical insights into different knife/sword making steels 
Are you frustrated with the scientific, archaic and cryptic language of higher level bladesmithing authors? 
This book has been designed to have simple language so that it is easy to grasp even the most complex concepts. The assorted collection of techniques can help you add a unique touch to your creations. 
Here are answers to some questions you might have about this book: 
Q: What is this book about?  
A: This book is an intermediate guide on forging knives and swords. 
Q: Who should read this book?  
A: If you are interested in making knives and swords of any kind, you would want to read this book. Anyone looking to learn various unique bladesmithing techniques and improve their craft should also read this book. 
Q: Do I need to have tools before I read this book?  
A: Only the barest minimum are required. The rest you can make or acquire along your journey. The book even has a step-by-step guide to make your own forge, so you don't need to start out with one. 
Q: What am I going to learn in this book?  
A: As the title suggests, the main focus of the book is to help you make knives and swords. I also teach you to forge Damascus, as well as several topics like Japanese bladesmithing and lost wax casting, techniques that most bladesmithing books do not touch. 
More than anything, what this book can do for you is to actually guide you throughout every step of every process that is included, simple or complex.  
You can learn and improve as a bladesmith by expanding your smithing knowledge base and skill set, with this guide to help you. 
Every day that you make knives without improving your skills is another day that you miss out on making a knife that you could really cherish.

    Tough and Competent documents the leadership and teamwork principles which emerged from an organization of novice, part-time engineers in NASA Mercury Control. By July 1969, when faced with the stress of the Apollo 11 mission to land Americans on the moon, they had matured into a group of hardened individuals empowered to make the split-second decisions to land with only seventeen seconds of fuel remaining. What had changed? Team chemistry, IT!, is the unifying soul of operations that emerged from the leadership, working, and social environment to achieve organizational excellence. Mission Control could address quickly the risks and complexity of spaceflight operations. The intangible element, IT!, elevates performance to where the impossible becomes commonplace.IT! was born in a bare-bones warehouse floor work environment, where learning by doing developed the materials for flight. Controllers spanned diverse backgrounds: Philco tech reps, farm boys, Native Americans, and junior college grads who became self-made engineers. A free exchange of knowledge developed expertise among colleagues. Everyone brought unique viewpoints and skills which coalesced into IT! In relaying his long tenure at NASA, Kranz narrates the development of IT! His views on lessons learned through decades of Mission Control are valuable for any innovation-based organization.
