Overview
The Blacksmith and the Welder is a comprehensive technical manual for the working smith and welder, covering the forge, anvil, and tools, the procedure of forging and heat treating, and the safe use of welding equipment.
First published in June 1941, the blacksmithing chapters work through the essentials of the forge, from building and managing fires to the basic shaping operations, the calculation of stock for bent shapes, and unit forging operations. The manual then turns to welding, setting out safety precautions before describing the equipment involved and the use of acetylene.
Complete with detailed illustrations and helpful tips, The Blacksmith and the Welder is an invaluable reference for anyone working in either trade and a worthy addition to any collection of antiquarian metalworking literature. It is proudly republished here with a new introduction on metalworking.
