This book takes a practical and detailed look into patternmaking, a woodworker's craft that involves shaping wood to create molds for casting. The author provides insights gained from working in the patternmaking industry, offering invaluable advice and tips for patternmakers of all skill levels. From detailed discussions on the kinds of wood, tools, and fastenings used in patternmaking, the book progresses to cover more complex topics, such as allowances necessary in patternmaking, marking and recording patterns, and building patterns involving auxiliary patterns. The author guides readers through the processes of making different types of patterns, including those for wheels, gears, and castings with hollow arms, as well as patterns for brass casting and screw propellers for marine and aquatic use. By providing a clear understanding of the principles applied to creating patterns for industrial uses, this book offers a comprehensive reference for patternmakers and woodworkers alike.
