I just received it. Thanks!

I prefer physical books on my shelve The books goes back to king Solomon and how people used their fist instead of hammers. I cannot believe it how deep this book goes

I just received this book. I am shocked how big the book is.

Alexander G. Weyger in his book "The recycling, use, & repair of tools" mentioned that at the year 1916 at college of Marine Engineering in Groningen, Holland first 6 months he studied the art of flat filing and next blacksmithing. It was absolute necessary in the event of a mid ocean breakdown that the marine engineer on board ship be able to repair, in the ship's machine shop, the engine with sufficient skill and know-how to allow the ship at least to limp into port under its own steam for more permanent repairs. Does anyone know what type of blacksmithing they learn that time? Can we find these study materials? Was it blacksmith-engineer soft of person?

Purchased it. Looks like I am well equipped now

Thanks JHCC, I added it to my shopping list.

Thanks! very excited to receive a book but waiting time for delivery around a month. I want to apply these skills for making mechanical work. Building robots using very old tools

Hi, Thanks for the book. Is this book in english or german only?

Hi, Are there any books with a deep dive on "hammer and chisel" work with great details? Its usually a couple of paragraphs on different types of chisels and how to use them and thats it, but I want something deeper. Looking for cold chiseling, hot chiseling and how to master it. Thanks
