INTRODUCTION
The present demand for school instruction in the industrial arts has made it necessary for the teachers of industries to have that knowledge of materials and methods which can only result from long and careful experience with the materials of industry.
This book is the result of a life of such experience by a man who is now recognized as a master craftsman in wrought metal.
