EDITOR’S PREFACE

This handbook, which explains in detail a variety ofprocesses common to general metalworking, has beenwritten by a number of thoroughly practical men, bywhom it was contributed in another form to “Work,”the illustrated weekly journal of handicrafts andmechanics. Its appeal is to everybody who makes anyattempt at working in metals, inasmuch as at leastone of the processes—soldering, brazing or welding—willbe met at a very early stage in thebeginner’s experience. This handbook will be founda complete workshop guide to the usual methods ofsoldering and brazing, and will form an excellentintroduction to the modern electrical and oxy-acetylenewelding processes, to do complete justice to which,however, a separate handbook would, of course, benecessary. If readers encounter difficulty in any ofthe matters treated in this book, they have only towrite to “Work,” in whose columns (but not bypost) help will be willingly afforded.
