Download or read book Forge Work Classic Reprint written by William L. Ilgen and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-13 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William L. Ilgen's book Forge Work is an instructional text detailing metalwork, and more specifically working with a forge. The original purpose of the book, as outlined in the author's preface, was to commit to text many of the oral instructions provided to metalworking and blacksmithing students so that they may have a reference document to which they can refer. Divided into eight chapters, Forge Work is a thorough and expansive reference book. The book begins with an introduction to the tools and appliances commonly used by smiths. Ilgen's writing is accessible for the layperson, so much so that a reader with no experience in forging could comfortably make this book their introduction into the craft. From his introduction to the tools, Ilgen progresses to a discussion of some specific forging operations, including straightening, twisting, welding, and scarfing, among many others. The author outlines various practice exercises to be used by students of metalworking so as to improve their skills and understanding of the craft. Later chapters cover more advanced topics, such as the treatment of steel, tool making, art smithing, and scroll work. Pictures are included throughout, however many have unfortunately not survived republication. William L. Ilgen's Forge Work is a success as both a textbook for students of metal work and as a reference book for those more experienced in the craft. The index that concludes the book is invaluable, and the clear and concise directions throughout make for an illuminating read. While other books have been published on the topic, few cover the information with as much depth and breadth as Forge Work.

Download or read book The History of Valley Forge Classic Reprint written by Henry Woodman and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Valley Forge A large portrait of a plain, unassuming man was hanging on the wall of the old Camp School-house in Valley Forge park, when John U. Francis, Sr., publisher of this history, took charge. Father was born in Lower Providence township, just across the Schuylkill river from the Cradle of American Liberty. His great grandfather, Captain Arnold Francis, had commanded the Providence militia and had rendered conspicuous service under Washington at Valley Forge. In the family, Valley Forge was sacred ground and to the name of Washington was rendered a homage hardly due to mortal man. In keeping with the suffering endured, a resentment toward British arrogance was developed which even to-day causes the eye to Hash at the slightest semblance of the thing on our national horizon. A patriotism purer than father's we have never met. To tell the story of Valley Forge, than whom no man knows it better, and to provide for visitors to the park suitable souvenirs has been to him a labor of love. The publication of this history is a becoming climax of his labors. But year after year the portrait continued to hang on the wall. When at times we visited the Park and inquired, Whose is that portrait? practically no light could be given. "It was sent down from Headquarters." Some one knew better than father. In the summer of 1919 a group of visitors entered the School-house. One of the ladies pointed to the portrait and said: "That is a portrait of my grandfather, Henry Woodman. He wrote the first history of Valley Forge." The lady was Mrs. Alice Woodman Smith of Wycombe, Bucks county, Pa. She promised a letter giving particulars, and in due time one was received. Miss Mary S., daughter of Henry Woodman, a lady now of some eighty summers, was the embodiment of the first commandment with promise. She had had a small portrait of her father enlarged and had sent it to the Headquarters at Valley Forge. As already stated, from there it was sent down to the old Camp School-house.

Download or read book Blood on the Forge written by William Attaway and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2013-12-11 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Praised by both Richard Wright and Ralph Ellison, this classic of Black literature is a brutal depiction of the Great Migration from the Jim Crow South This brutally gripping novel about the African-American Great Migration follows the three Moss brothers, who flee the rural South to work in industries up North. Delivered by day into the searing inferno of the steel mills, by night they encounter a world of surreal devastation, crowded with dogfighters, whores, cripples, strikers, and scabs. Keenly sensitive to character, prophetic in its depiction of environmental degradation and globalized labor, Attaway's novel is an unprecedented confrontation with the realities of American life, offering an apocalyptic vision of the melting pot not as an icon of hope but as an instrument of destruction. Blood on the Forge was first published in 1941, when it attracted the admiring attention of Richard Wright and Ralph Ellison. It is an indispensable account of a major turning point in black history, as well as a triumph of individual style, charged with the concentrated power and poignance of the blues.

From the beginning of the contest, I was at Forge; my hand more than once was raised in its forwarding; and round my person, it may be said, eddied and swirled and tossed the passions of Forge. Of these latter, then, this narrative will have much to do. Certain particulars it will not be pleasant to write, where the part I played was second best; but certain others, which rest on how I gave Checkmate now and again to one handsome gentleman, I shall relate with silent satisfaction.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plain and Ornamental Forging Among the many treatises on technical subjects, few of a really practical and helpful character are to be found on the general subject of art metal and blacksmith work. The author of this book has endeavored to meet this need and to furnish a richly illustrated and fully explained work on the science and art of plain and art metal forging. Much time and effort have been expended in arranging material, in preparing the text and illustrations and in selecting from among many samples of work those suited to every grade Of ability. In particular, the attempt has been made to furnish simple and detailed drawings illustrating each important Operation, as it is felt that the successive steps may often be shown more clearly in this way than by any amount of discussion.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Forge and Furnace: A Novel Tm, thud. Amidst a shower of hot, yellow sparks the steam hammer came down on the glowing steel, shak ing the ground under the feet of the master of the works and his son, who stood just outside the shed. In the full blaze of the August sunshine, which was, however, tem pered by such clouds of murky smoke as only Sheffield can boast, old Mr. Cornthwaite, acclimatized for many a year to heat and to coal dust, stood quite unconcerned. Tall, thin, without an ounce of superfluous flesh on his bones, with a fresh-colored face which seemed to look the younger and the handsomer for the silver whiteness of his hair and of his long, silky moustache, Josiah Corn thwaite's was a figure which would have arrested atten tion anywhere, but which was especially noticeable for the striking contrast he made to the rough-looking York shiremen at work around him.

My father was a chain-maker, and I worked with him from the earliest time I can remember until the day of his death. He was an ignorant man, violent in temper, and given to drink. Every Satur day he would come home half mad, and would thrash me without mercy. Sometimes he would thrash my sister also; but he never neglected me, and I was glad to get into the coal-hole, or any other place of refuge. When I heard his step.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Value of Science in the Smithy and Forge From time to time I have been approached by young smiths who, thinking that I might be able to advise them, have asked me many intelligent questions regard ing studies suitable for smiths and forgers. This is a matter to which I have given a good deal of study and not a little labour, which has been directed more particularly to the needs of young men than to those of experience. That being so, the object of this book is, in the first place, to direct the attention of young smiths to the fact that science may be of immense value to them in their work in the smithy and forge; and; in the second place, to try to show them how it may be utilised in a thoroughly practical manner.

This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Forge-Practice and Heat Treatment of Steel Modern demands on the finished products of steel have necessitated rapid strides in the art of heat treatment of the metal. As the subjects of forging, hardening, tempering and annealing are so closely correlated it has seemed wise to add to Forge Practice a certain amount of material devoted to the other branches of the art. The introduction of heat measuring and hardness testing instruments, together with various other modern appliances, and up to date systems of doing work have made necessary a broader knowledge of heat-treating methods than was formerly the case: for after all the most important factor is the man doing the work.
