Overview
This vintage book contains a complete guide to blacksmithing and steel working, with information on all aspects ranging from the correct use of tools and shop equipment to repairing cogs and making a gun. Highly accessible and profusely illustrated, this timeless handbook will be of utility to novice metalworkers and would make for a worthy addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: "The Smith," "There are Smiths and Smiths," "Intemperance," "Incompetency," "Religion," "A Modern Guild," "Taxation Will Never Raise the Standard of a Mechanic," "Literature," "The Shop," "The Anvil," "Coal Box," "Tool Tables," "The Hammer," "The Sledge," "How to Make a Hammer," et cetera. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on metal work.
