Engineers' and General Smiths' Work: The Smith and Forgeman's Handbook of Practical Smithing and Forging, With Numerous Illustrations, Examples and Tables (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Engineers' and General Smiths' Work: The Smith and Forgeman's Handbook of Practical Smithing and Forging, With Numerous Illustrations, Examples and Tables
The absence of a useful and practical treatise on the art of Smithing and Forging was a source of great disappointment to the Author in his early days, and often since then, he has wondered why no one ventures to devote himself to the subject through the great medium of the press, with a view to helping and interesting their fellow smiths. The Author, after a life experience in the trade as a Smith, Forger, Stamper and Fore man, seeks in the following pages to submit some sound and practical suggestions on the subject, which he hopes will be interesting and instructive to those in the trade. The tables at the end have been compiled with a view to usefulness, and no doubt they will often prove a convenience to the reader. This work does not pretend to be a learned and classical treatise, such as would be expected from some great professor, but simply a plain straightforward statement of the experience of a practical smith, and the Author trusts that this will prove.
