"Copper Work" is a vintage high school coursebook on metalworking with copper, with chapters on everything from tools and their proper use, to designing, producing and beyond. Originally intended for teenage students, it offers a fantastic introduction to the subject complete with step-by-step instructions and many helpful diagrams and illustrations. Contents include: "Metal Work", "Preface", "Introduction", "Problems", "Drawer and Door Pulls", "Finger Plates", "Sconce A", "Raised Forms", "Porringer", "Ink Pot", "Spoons, Sugar Tongs and Tea Scoops", "Enameling", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on metal work.
