About this book
Working In Metals
Author: Charles C. Sleffel
Year: 1911
Written one hundred years ago during the heyday of blacksmithing this book is obviously from a different era. The author, Charles Sleffel, was 12 year veteran Metal Work Instructor from the famous Horace Mann School, Teacher's College of New York. Attitudes then were completely sexist with no mention of young women taking part in any of the many projects. The fronticepiece clearly illustrates this attitude with its title "Even a Boy Can Learn How to Make a Horseshoe". Once you get past the quaintness of the book it is full of valuable instruction for children and adults alike. Scan courtesy of www.AnvilFire.com
