ANNEALING HEAT TREATING & HARDENING CARBON ALLOY STEEL
In spite of all that has been written about iron and steel there are many hazy notions in the minds of many mechanics regarding them. It is not always clear as to just what makes the difference between iron and steel. We know that high-carbon steel makes a better cutting tool than low-carbon steel. And yet carbon alone does not make all the difference because we know that cast iron has more carbon than tool steel and yet it does not make a good cutting tool.
There are many aspects of steelworking that one must learn in order to find a job in the steel industry. Although a formal education is highly recommended, this document is a superb vintage look at the entire process of steelworking. Annealing, heat treating, hardening, whether with carbon or alloy steels are all covered. A must for the beginner and a great addition to the pro.

EASY DESIGNS IN ORNAMENTAL IRONWORK 1912 PATTERNS
This is a fantastic set of early 20th century metalworkers patterns.You'll find instructions for creating several different patterns in iron.
There are many illustrations to show you how... and each one has been enlarged so they'll be easy to read and easy to print out for reference.
Here's a quote from the document: "Metal brackets, stands for lamps, gates, parts for artistic fences for gardens, supporting arms for signs, etc., are among the articles of modern times that come under the head of things possible to construct of iron in the back room or attic shop. The accompanying sketches present some of the articles possible to manufacture."

FOUNDRY WORK AT HOME EQUIPMENT PLANS & INSTRUCTIONS!
Metalworking was once a necessary skill to survive. Over time, machines have taken over the processes. Who will carry on the honored traditions of the blacksmith? Maybe you...
This is a very informative and interesting piece of vintage do-it-yourself instruction. It covers the equipment you need, and how to make it.... all the way thru to making molds and creating metal castings.
A quote from the document: "Many amateur mechanics who require small metal castings in their work would like to make their own castings. This can easily be done at home without going to any great expense, and the variety and usefulness of the articles produced will make the equipment a good investment."

HARDENING & TEMPERING STEEL TECHNIQUES FOR MODEL MAKERS
In model building and experimental work it often becomes necessary to harden a piece of steel and temper it to a definite degree of hardness or soften a hard piece.
A few simple experiments in heat treatment of steel are sufficient in order to obtain the desired results. This early 1900's digital document contains those lessons.
Sharpen your skills and add a new level to your model building activities by learning this valuable, nearly lost skill.
It'll help you to create even more amazing projects than the men that created these processes in the last century. A truly interesting and valuable addition to the model builders digital library.
