Magazine: Small-Scale Smithing is a recipe magazine about small forged goods. It belongs to Blacksmithing and covers the fine work done at a forge.
Reading it teaches nine recipes. Forge Tweezers, Forge Forceps, Forge Scissors, Forge Doorknob, Forge Hinge, Forge Straight Razor, Forge 4 Fishing Hooks, Forge Needle and Forge Buckle each make one small metal item.
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
Every recipe burns charcoal at a forge. Most keep a ball peen hammer and metalworking pliers.
Forge 4 Fishing Hooks is the easiest at Blacksmithing level 3. It turns two Wire into four Forged Fishing Hook at a primitive forge or better.
Forge Scissors needs level 4 and a quarter bar of stock at a Simple Forge or better. A smithing hammer and tongs or pliers are kept. The result is Crude Scissors. Forge Buckle also needs level 4 and works one metal piece into a Buckle at an Advanced Forge.
Forge Hinge needs level 5 at an Advanced Forge and makes a Door Hinge. Forge Needle needs level 6 and turns Wire into a Forged Needle at a Simple Forge or better.
Forge Doorknob and Forge Straight Razor are the hardest at level 9. Both need an Advanced Forge. The razor takes a Steel Chunk and a Small Handle. The doorknob keeps a small punch and small files as well.
Door Hinge feeds welding builds. The gate recipes in Magazine: Welder Monthly - April 1993 each take two or four of them.
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. 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 halls.
