Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Forging M I introduction Al, 6 HE art of blacksmithing is an ancient one and for centuries, probably, was the only metal-working profession. With the development of the method of casting iron, the cheapness of this useful process brought about a wider adoption of cast iron forms than was justified by the fragile nature of the castings used. In later years the fields of usefulness of the two types of metal work have been very definitely fixed by the require ments of construction, the element of tensile strength, and the expansion of the methods of production manufacturing. The development of drop forging had also a marked effect upon the return to forging methods, particularly in the small tool field, the skill in the use of power hammers and the use of gang.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Machine Blacksmithing It is not necessary that a system for the blacksmith shop be of the kind usually known as red tape, which often takes more time to handle than the time it saves; but a simple method of keeping track of work, tools, and material will save time and expense. To begin with, the blacksmith shop ought to be large enough to pro vide a place for everything in the shape of tools and equipment, and permit everything to be in its place. Forges should be numbered with figures of size and color which can be easily seen from any part of the shop. The forges should be referred to by their numbers, instead of so-and-so's forge. This would insure work being taken to the place for which it was intended. With each forge there ought to be a tool bench of such size and design as would accommodate one full set of blacksmith's tools of the kind used at the anvil. Each tool should be marked with its size and the number of the forge to which it belongs, so that each blacksmith will know the tools which form part of the set he is supposed to use, even if they should in any way get mixed up with others. To insure keeping a full set at each forge, it would be well to give each man a list of the tools belonging to the forge at which he is expected to work, with the understanding that he will be held responsi ble for all tools not worn out or accidentally broken. If any tool is worn out or broken it should be reported to the man in charge, so that it could be replaced as soon as possible. Having a full equipment at each forge would be a decided advantage to a new man starting in to work, because, as anyone who has ever been employed in a black smith shop knows, as soon as a blacksmith leaves the shop in which he has been working, he is no sooner gone than there is a raid upon the tools he used, and it usually takes but a short time to have them exchanged for the poorest tools in the shop, or, perhaps, just removed without any attempt at replacing. When a new man comes along, he is heavily handicapped, having the worst tools in the place with which to work, and it sometimes takes weeks before he has a chance of show ing what he can do.

Download or read book Bolt Nut and Rivet Forging Classic Reprint written by Douglas T. Hamilton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-13 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bolt, Nut and Rivet Forging As is generally the case with a new industry, the methods and ma chines used were very carefully guarded from the public, and this characteristic seems to have followed this industry down to the pres ent time, judging by the scarcity of information available on the subject. Some idea of the methods which were at first employed to retain all information in the factory in which it was originated is well brought out by the following instance: In 1842, when the industry was beginning to be generally known, it is stated that a Mr. Clark, who at that time owned a bolt and nut factory in New England, and had devised a special machine for use in this manufacture, had his forging machine located in a room separated from the furnaces by a thick wall. A hole was cut through this wall, and the man who Operated the machine received the heated bars from the furnace through the small hole in the wall. The only person who ever got a glimpse of the machine was the operator. The forge man was not permitted to enter the room. Machine forging, as we know it to-day, is of wide application, em bracing a large number of machines and precesses that apply, in a measure, to almost any manufacturing plant. Machine parts hitherto made from castings are now made much more economically by the use of the drop-hammer or forging machine, and give much more satisfactory service.

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.

He possessed every means of knowing, and he was above misrepresentation. There is no one whom we regard as at all comparable to him in this mat ter. Where any one clearly differs from him, we at once dis card them. This will cause a revolution as to some accepta tions; but our course will, we are sure, set wrong acceptations right as surely as did the Revolution. Practically every one who has done any service in determining these locations, whose work has come to our notice, we are confident ultimately drew chiefly from Woodman.

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.
