Customer Reviews

Old school keeping it simple still works.

This volume is typical of any published by MAP reprints and revised editions bring the way it was done for the hobbyist. In the day. Before everything had to have a digital read out/computer controlled what ever. This gives enough information to a shop person with some experience. The knowledge to cast some small parts, make the pattern and a furnace. By far there are more numerous books out there, with more info and flashier layout. But they could not give you the basic knowledge in 8 chapters. In the ninth chapter he goes over a small scale cupola drop bottom furnace. If for nothing else the explanation of how it operates. The drawings are old school text book style, clear line drawings with notation. the few B & W photos are clear enough to see what they wanted you to. For some one who wants an idea of how to do it, for the price this is the one. I own it. and It was a light couple hour read.
