Synopsis

A practical, yard-to-table guide for architectural sheet metal work and demonstrated patterns.

This volume delivers hands-on methods for plan-reading, cost estimating, and the step-by-step craft of cornices, moldings, and metal work used in buildings.

Drawing on decades of shop know-how, it compiles the kind of everyday problems and reliable solutions sheet metal workers rely on. You’ll find real-world techniques, example assemblies, and core drafting practices that translate from plan to finished work. The book emphasizes clear, repeatable methods you can adapt to your own projects and shop setup.
What you’ll experience
  • Clear guidance on estimating costs and tracking job labor and material needs.
  • Practical details for shop layouts, drawing boards, cutting benches, and drafting tables.
  • Step-by-step demonstrations of cornice work, moldings, and copper and galvanized metal assemblies.
  • Techniques for assembling large copper cornices, bracketing, fastening, and aligning sections with minimal handling.
Inside you’ll discover a workflow for turning patterns into finished metalwork, plus notes on coordinating with other trades and planning hoisting and installation. This edition centers on practical, repeatable workmanship rather than theory, making it a useful reference for craftsmen and shop foremen.
Ideal for readers of architectural metal work, pattern drafting, and shop‑floor construction who want reliable methods and time‑saving techniques in one comprehensive volume.
