The Art of Blacksmithing                           by Alex Bealer
This book is very inexpensive and very comprehensive -  what a great combination!  Although he does not really deal with specifically medieval techniques, the person using Victorian tools found at estate sales will feel right at home.  Of course, many of the items shown have been around for centuries.  There is even a chapter on making weapons which discusses mail, swords and halberds (as well as flintlocks).  Lots of black & white sketches make the explanations easier to understand.
