Description

Foundrywork for the Amateur provides a comprehensive introduction to casting common hot metals in moulds, covering all the essential information needed by amateur foundrymen. First published in 1954, this book has undergone significant revisions over the years, but its core principles remain unchanged. This updated edition reflects the author's growing interest in model steam locomotives and brings the language and presentation up to date with modern technology. The text has been rewritten to provide a fresh perspective on the subject, while the illustrations have been completely redrawn and the photographs have been increased in number to reflect the advances made in amateur foundry since its early days. With this new edition, readers can expect detailed guidance on the techniques and methods used in the craft of foundrywork. With 103 pages of clear instructions and photographs, Foundrywork for the Amateur is an essential resource for anyone looking to explore the world of casting and mould-making.
