"Art Of Coppersmithing" is a detailed and interesting treatise on the subject, exploring its history and development and giving precise, illustrated instructions as to how various results are achieved. Written with the beginner in mind, this volume is ideal for students and those new to metalwork, especially to coppersmithing. Contents include: "Metal Work", "Preface To First Edition", "Preface To Fourth Edition", "Historical Sketch Of Copper", "The Brazier's Art, Or Light", "Coppersmithing", "First Year's Experience", "Repairing And Tinning", "The Boy's Second Year", "Making Washing-Coppers", "Making Brewing-Coppers", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on metal work.
