About this book

This volume contains a course of twelve lessons on blacksmithing, horseshoeing, and wagon making, originally designed for schools and technical colleges. With helpful tables, simple diagrams, and a wealth of handy tips, this volume will be of considerable utility to modern readers looking for an introduction to metalworking and farriery. Contents include: "The Fire", "Iron", "Steel", "Annealing", "Welding Cast Iron", "Hardening", "Brazing", "Forging", "Making Rings and Links", "Welding", "The Different Kinds of Welds", "Fagot-Welding", "Lap-Weld", "Butt-Weld", "Jump-Weld", "T-Weld", "Split-Weld", "Angle-Weld", "Circles", "Chisels", "Cross-Pene hammer", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive.
