The Tinsmith's Helper and Pattern Book

Author: H.K. Vosburgh
Pages: 120
Cover: Softbound
Dimensions: 6" x 9"
Item #: BK120
Price: $14.50
A reprint of the 1910 Edition of a work that was originally published in 1910, this small but information filled book features a series of line drawings that illustrate the methods for laying out everyday articles and fittings of tin and also provide insight for the smith into techniques that might be innovatively applied later in actual practice. A series of appendices cover the mathematical formula necessary for the working tinsmith as well as a series of tables that allow one to quickly ascertain the dimensions of working stock necessary for construction of vessels of specific sizes. If you hated geometry, you will loathe this book, but if you have an interest in traditional crafts, or if you would like to try your hand at "tin knocking", this book is a great place to start.
