The Artist-Blacksmith's Craft, published in 1935 and My Life as Artist-blacksmith, published in 1941, are the literary legacy of Julius Schramm and offer a strong encouragement for renewal here in the United States just as they did during their day in Germany. This edition contains the text of both books. Schramm's words in The Artist-blacksmith's Craft speak to blacksmiths today with just as much importance as they did when he wrote them, at the age of seventy: Schramm's My Life as Artist-Blacksmith provides us with the philosophy of his craft, sharing the integrity and enthusiasm that he had for his work at the forge.
Francis Whitaker has been responsible for getting the Schramm books published; he suggested the books be translated by Robert Ruhloff and be published by SkipJack Press. Whitaker proudly carries on this tradition of blacksmithing gives us the final word on the contributions Julius Schramm: We all took great pains to satisfy the master and in return had our own satisfaction in doing a fine job. A year with Yellin, two years with Schramm, set the pattern for the rest of my life. The pursuit of perfection.
