Hand-Wrought Ironwork

A Book of Projects

by Edward F. Krom and Peter J. Paige

The Bruce Publishing Company, 1961 [Fourth Printing], black and white photographs, instructional illustrations and diagrams throughout, hardcover, dust-jacket

Very Good Condition, some edge and shelf wear, some rubbing and bumping to edges and corners, ex-library with tape residue to covers and front and back end-papers, price-clipped dust-jacket shows some edge and shelf wear, small chips and tears to edges, soiling to front and back, small part missing from top back (see photographs)

"Here are 47 wrought-iron projects any home craftsman can make from inexpensive materials and with a few tools.  Beautiful candlesticks, ferneries, smoking stands, pedestal tables, lamps, fireplace sets, and other articles which are sold for fabulous prices in stores can be made for a fraction of the cost at home by the man who likes to work with metal.
Although devoted primarily to the 47 projects and not to fundamentals of metalworking, Hand-Wrought Ironwork presents a list of operations, a detailed working drawing, and a photograph of the finished project which are so complete that only the basic principles of wrought-iron working need be known to produce the article."
