The Pattern Maker's Assistant

Author: Joshua Rose
Pages: 324
Cover: Softbound
Dimensions: 5 1/2" x 8 1/2"
Item #: BK156
Price: $15.95
Written by an accomplished machinist and pattern maker, this classic work was originally pubished in 1877. In a thorough, comprehensive and very readable book, author Joshua Rose examines, in great detail, the hand tools of the patternmaker and how they are used, the uses of lathes, the techniques of foundry work, the machine tools found in a shop and the techniques used in the making of all manner of patterns from the simple to the very complex. Copiously illustrated with hundreds of line drawings showing tools, machines and examples of the patternmaker's craft, Rose's The Pattern Maker's Assistant is a step back in time to the world of the last century. An interesting and enjoyable read.
