Hooked: A Blacksmith’s Study of Function Through Form
by Matt Jenkins
What began as a personal journey to escape a creative rut evolved into a year-long exploration of tools, techniques, and skills.
Inside the book, you will find:
187 pages,
366 hook images
24- step by step drawings
Background stories for important hooks, lessons learned in the shop, tips and tricks.
Hooked: A Blacksmith’s Study of Function Through Form is not just a book; it’s a source of inspiration. Part coffee table book, part step-by-step guide, and part design motivation, it chronicles Matt Jenkins' 2016 #366Hooks project, in which he challenged himself to design and forge a different hook each day of the (leap) year. The result?
366 unique hooks, each a spark of creativity, distinct in style, shape, and process.
Each hook in this book tells a story—crafted from off-cuts of custom railings, inspired by motifs observed while traveling, incorporating tricks learned from many mentors, and marking special occasions. Individually, these hooks are intriguing; together in one book, they become mesmerizing.

Materialien, Werkzeuge, Techniken und einfache Projekte
Das Schmieden ist eine archaische Kunst, die heute ein faszinierendes und kreatives Hobby sein kann. Aus einem Stück Stahl mit dem Schmiedehammer einen ästhetischen oder praktischen Gegenstand zu formen, ist immer wieder ein Erlebnis. In diesem Buch erfahren Sie alles Wichtige zu Materialien, Ausrüstung, Werkzeugen und Schmiedetechniken.
Übersichtliche Schritt-für-Schritt-Anleitungen führen Sie durch die Herstellung von sieben Objekten, von einem einfachen Metallstempel bis hin zu Werkzeugen wie einer Flachzange und einem Gebrauchsmesser mit geschnitztem Ledergriff. So wird jeder Einsteiger in das Thema eingeführt und kann erste Projekte in Angriff nehmen, auch ganz ohne Vorkenntnisse und handwerkliche Erfahrungen.
Der Autor Daniel Johnson ist ein Kunstschmied, der in Süd-Norfolk, Großbritannien, lebt und arbeitet und regelmäßig Schmiedekurse anbietet.
