Practical metal plate work - how to book
The metal plate in the title really refers to what we call sheet metal. And we are not talking furnace ducts here but something more exciting and useful such as kettles and trays.
Chapters include the materials used: geometrical construction of plane figures; geometrical construction and development of solid figures: tools and appliances used: soldering and brazing: tinning, re-tinning and galvanizing; examples of practical metal plate work; and examples of practical pattern drawing.
To get from a flat piece of sheet metal to a water-tight three dimensional container requires some amount of expertise. This book will show you how to do it. You start off making the easier projects much like a bread tray and progress to an oval bottom teakettle.
