Notes


A practical manual by noted blacksmith J. G. Holmstrom, described by the publisher as a craftsman of distinction. The volume offers concise essays on the outfitting of a shop and the making of essential tools—including hammers, and chisels, —as well as instructions for striking, turning, welding, and hardening iron and steel. Additional sections address the repair of cracked circular saws, sleigh shoes, and boilers; the working of cast iron; and the fitting of wagon tires. A chapter is devoted to the principles and practice of the farrier’s art.
