Master the essentials of pattern making for casting and moulding with practical guidance that covers the core ideas, tools, and techniques used in the trade.

This concise volume focuses on the underlying principles behind every pattern and explains how pattern making and moulding intertwine in real shops.

In clear, accessible language, the book outlines how to design patterns that are strong, easy to pull from moulds, and capable of producing accurate castings. It blends theory with concrete examples—ranging from joints and constructional patterns to engine cylinders and gear wheels—to help readers grasp both concept and practice without getting lost in detail.

Learn the key considerations for pattern withdrawal, shrinkage, moisture resistance, and strength.
See how patterns relate to moulds, cores, and core boxes, with practical notes on common joints and assembly.
Explore real-world examples like engine cylinders, gear wheels, and machine-moulded components.
Understand loam work, strickling, sweeping, and other methods that save time and cost in pattern production.

Ideal for students and apprentices aiming to build solid, shop-ready knowledge of pattern making and its connection to foundry work.
