5.0 out of 5 stars
Practical and down-to-earth
I've done a lot of blacksmithing and I've worked a lot with my hands, so I know my way around tools and the workshop. I've even worked a bit with sheet metal. But I never really felt comfortable doing it or had the sense that I was doing it "right." This book changed that. Written in a practical, no-nonsense manner, it gives the beginner everything he or she needs to know...

This review is from: Working Sheet Metal (Paperback)
I've done a lot of blacksmithing and I've worked a lot with my hands, so I know my way around tools and the workshop. I've even worked a bit with sheet metal. But I never really felt comfortable doing it or had the sense that I was doing it "right." This book changed that. Written in a practical, no-nonsense manner, it gives the beginner everything he or she needs to know about working and forming metal sheet. It discusses-- without drowning you in detail-- tools, work space, terminology, joinery, everything a neophyte sheet metal worker might need to know. Is it a complete encyclopedia on the subject? No, of course not. Will it give you the necessary information to go out and get started and puzzle through any problems on your own? Emphatically, yes.Two calloused thumbs up! By the way, the same author produced a book entitled "Sheet Metal Technology" which, although it covers some of the same territory, walks you through a simple project (a toolbox) step by step. The two of these books together should give you enough information to tackle any basic sheet metalwork tasks. Check out the Lindsay Publications website for the book and for more information than you probably ever wanted to know on metalwork, blacksmithing, locomotive building, Tesla coils, and other arcane and fascinating topics.

Great book, however, for the type of person this book is directed at it is a costly reader. Some is comon sense some reminds me of "how it was done" back when I went through high school manual arts/shop classes.
