This volume contains a course of twelve lessons on blacksmithing, horseshoeing, and wagon making, originally designed for schools and technical colleges. With helpful tables, simple diagrams, and a wealth of handy tips, this volume will be of considerable utility to modern readers looking for an introduction to metalworking and farriery. Contents include: ‘The Fire’, ‘Iron’, ‘Steel’, ‘Annealing’, ‘Welding Cast Iron’, ‘Hardening’, ‘Brazing’, ‘Forging’, ‘Making Rings and Links’, ‘Welding’, ‘The Different Kinds of Welds’, ‘Fagot-Welding’, ‘Lap-Weld’, ‘Butt-Weld’, ‘Jump-Weld’, ‘T-Weld’, ‘Split-Weld’, ‘Angle-Weld’, ‘Circles’, ‘Chisels’, ‘Cross-Pene hammer’, etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on maintaining and caring for horses.
