"It is the aim of the book to present the hand-tool manipulations, particularly those in cutting, shaping, forming, fastening, and finishing the common metals.  These processes are most generally used and have a common value because they are fundamental to all metalwork and are equally desirable for the beginner, the handyman, the homecrafter, and the mechanic.  It should be understood that the book is not a treatise in sheet metal, forging, or any other specialised branch of metalwork and is not intended to prepare the student for any particular metal trade."
