PREFACE
This book
is the outgrowth of problems given to high school pupils
by the writers, and has been compiled in logical
sequence. Stress is laid upon the proper use of tools,
and the problems are presented in such a way that each
exercise, or project, depends somewhat on the one
preceding. It is not the idea of the writers that all
problems shown should be made, but that the instructor
select only such as will give the pupils enough
preliminary work in the use of the tools to prepare them
for other models following.
The
related matter on the care of the lathe and tools, the
grinding of chisels, the polishing of projects, and the
specific directions and cautions for working out the
various exercises and projects with the drawings, make
the book not only valuable for reference, but also as a
class text to be studied in connection with the making
of projects. The drawings show exact dimensions and are
tabulated in the upper right-hand corner in such a way
that they may be used in a filing case if desired. At
least two designs are shown for each model, and these
may be used as suggestions from which students, with the
aid of the instructor, may work out their own
designs............... |
