This is top rate. Full tilt. I've never seen anything quite like it. This 1907 American edition of "Metalworking" has 760 pages and 2,206 illustrations covering just about anything you would ever want to do to a chunk of metal. This covers so much I don't know where to begin. Under "foundry" you'll learn about building Faraday's blast furnace, a gas injector furnace, a brick-built furnace, an oil furnace, crucibles, flasks, sands and on and on. "Smiths' Work" is not about the farrier's trade, but about decorative iron work making beautiful iron flowers, gates, plant stands, fireplace firedogs, brass fire screens, fireplace fenders, and a score of other Victorian blacksmithing projects. You get descriptions of the tools and anvil, of course, but you'll also find an interesting bending jig. The smithing chapter alone has 274 illustrations! And on it goes: files, scrapers, buffing wheels, annealing furnaces, hardening and tempering equipment, drills, boring bars, and much more. You'll learn about the torches, bellows, furnaces, hearths for brazing and riveting. The chapter on forging is more what we consider blacksmithing today: the basics of manipulating iron by heating and hammering. The sheet metal chapter is a gem. With 177 illustrations you'll learn to make everything EXCEPT ventilation ducts. You make a small oil cook stove with oven, a deed case, a "coal vase" (decorative coal scuttle) , a sizeable traveler's trunk, a drainer, a square copper tea kettle, and much more. Incredible! Once you've spent a life time learning all of this, you can begin repousse: the decorative embossing of sheet metal. You can make decorative picture frames, lock plates, canopies for fireplaces, and more. You get brass work, discussions of lathes and their tools and use (237 illustrations here alone!), metal spinning techniques and projects, tool construction, and on and on. You'll be shown how to build the treadle-driven 4-1 /2" lathe with a 4' 6" bed complete with headstock, tailstock and, slide rest. This chapter could be a book in itself, and I don't know where you'll get the castings unless you make them yourself. After you make some jewelry, you can make a simple eight day, 18" high skeleton clock. Its mechanism includes a pendulum and fusee. The plans are not dimensioned and discussion is necessarily brief. But there is enough for a clock fanatic. Fortunately there is much more detail when it comes to building the horizontal steam engine. With a 2" bore and 4-1/2" stroke at 50 psi you should get ¼ hp off the 16" flywheel. Great stuff! The vertical steam engine can be built on a 3-1 / 2" back-geared lathe, and generates 1 /4 hp at 60 psi, 300 rpm and a cut-off at 5/8 of the stroke. The 1-1/2" diameter piston travels 2-1 /4" on each stroke. You get loads of dimensioned drawings. And this is a governed engine, too. Build three different boilers. You can build a model horizontal boiler 13" long and 7" in diameter. Or fabricate a small vertical boiler 24" tall and 12" in diameter that can generate 1/4 hp of steam. I don't want to be around when you decide to build the 8 hp boiler that stands 8' tall with a 4' stack on top of that! This mother is 3-1/2' in diameter, is riveted, and looks like more than I would ever want to tackle. Tired of Pedaling? Build a gas engine with a 2-1 /2" piston and 2-1/2" stroke. This 1 ½ hp air-cooled engine weighs about 25 lb and is suggested for use on a bicycle. The 18" diameter water wheel will develop 1/4 hp at 30 psi and as much as 3/4 hp at 90 psi. The dynamo/motor will generate or consume 50 watts of power. You'll find talk about silver, copper, and gold plating and brass gilding in the electroplating chapter. The wire working chapter is incredible in that you will learn how to make fancy wire screening of different lattices that we, today, think can only be made by machine. After you make the electric bell, you can make a brass stand microscope, and a four-draw telescope with an erector for terrestrial viewing (a "must-have for all would-be pirates...). Again, anyone who works metal must have a copy of this! The ideas in here will fire you up. You'll really like this. Top rate. I can't say enough about this one! Get a copy! "Every shop bird should order a copy of this one. And if he's dumb enough to lend books, he should order two or more copies because few people would return this one..." - David Gingery o polishing metals: the machines and processes o annealing, hardening, and tempering o soldering brazing and riveting o oriental decorative brasswork o finishing, lacquering, and coloring brass o spinning metals on the lathe o tools for measuring and testing metalwork o building a 4-1/2 in. centre lathe o building a small horizontal steam engine o making a 114-hp vertical steam engine o building a dynamo and electric motor o making a microscope and telescope. 6X9 hardcover 760 pages (This sucker is heavy!) 2,206 illustrations!
