Magazine: Modern Blacksmithing at Home is a recipe magazine about building a forge. It opens the door to Blacksmithing, since every forged item needs a forge first.
Reading it teaches two recipes. Simple Forge builds the basic stone forge. Construct Advanced Forge builds the larger forge that the finer smithing recipes demand.
The magazine is a loot find. Gun stores and hunting lodges keep it on their magazine racks, and tool stores and libraries hold it now and then.
Uses
Both forges are stone builds. Simple Forge takes thirty Stone Block, some concrete, a Blacksmith Anvil, a Wooden Bucket and a Log. A mason's trowel is needed and kept.
Construct Advanced Forge takes the same materials plus a Large Bellows. The bellows is the extra piece that separates the two builds. Neither recipe asks for a skill level.
The Advanced Forge matters for later work. Many smithing recipes, such as Forge Buckle and Forge Hinge, only work at an Advanced Forge. Others accept a Simple Forge or anything better.
The anvil is the hard part of the shopping list. Collecting the stone, concrete and anvil before reading saves a long wait once the recipes are known.
Reading the magazine also eases boredom and stress. A read copy still has a use as padding. Make Magazine Body Armor and Make Magazine Limb Armor accept any magazine as crude armour.

Locations
Magazine racks in gun stores and hunting lodges are the best places, with a fair chance each. Library and tool store shelves turn one up now and then. University libraries hold it at a similar rate. Gun store shelves and tool store counters give a smaller chance. Homes hold one rarely, in attic boxes, bedrooms, closets, garages and storage units.
