This vintage book contains a practical instruction manual for the
apprentice or assistant sheet metal worker. It includes detailed
instructions on cutting, forming, soldering, and preparing full-sized
details from architects blue prints, developing the patterns, laying out
the work on sheet metal, forming and bending, and assembling. It was
originally designed not only to assist the novice to understand the
theory of the subject, but mainly to help them master the practical side
of sheet metal work. Contents include: "Introductory", "Cutting Curves
and Circles", "Tools and Preparations for Soldering", "Soldering Flat
and Upright Seams", "Scale and Detail Drawings of Molded Gutter with a
Miter", "Scale and Detail Drawings of Square Leader Head", "Octagon
Leader Head", et cetera. Many vintage books such as this are
increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now
in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned
new introduction on metal work.
