"Metalworking" is a 1904 work by Australian technical writer Paul
Hasluck dealing with metalwork and allied subjects. Including over 2,200
illustrations and full of expert tips and simple instructions, this
classic guide is highly recommended for anyone looking for an
introduction to metalworking. Paul Nooncree Hasluck (1854 - 1916) was an
Australian engineer and editor. He was a master of technical writing and
father of the 'do-it-yourself' book, producing many books on subjects
including engineering, handicrafts, woodwork, and more. Other notable
works by this author include: "Treatise on the Tools Employed in the Art
of Turning" (1881), "The Wrath-Jobber's Handy Book" (1887), and
"Screw-Threads and Methods of Producing Them" (1887). 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
biography of the author.
