Forging

First published 1918 Chicago. A more advanced book than Farm Blacksmithing, it includes a greater variety of procedures (butt, split, and angle welding, shaping, finishing, drawing out, upsetting, punching, etc.) plus basic measuring and calculating of material. Examples used include hooks and eyes, chain fittings and tool making, plus more advanced forging such as crankshafts, weldless rings, ladles and trowels. There are many interesting side subjects such as shrink fitting of parts and bending cast iron. The author finishes by including power hammers, forging furnaces and quenching baths.
