Excerpt from A High School Course in Wood Pattern Making This book is the outgrowth of seven years of teaching experience in both Trade and High Schools. The author submits the book on the ground that we can all benefit by the experience of others. Works on Pattern Making are not as numerous as the importance of the subject warrants. The various articles in this book follow each other in what seems to the author to be the natural sequence. To begin the subject the teacher lectures on The Metal Trades (chapters I and II), and the manufacture of iron products, so that the pupil can learn exactly what part pat tern making plays in the commercial world. Then the wood working exercise in Chapter III should be started. Before beginning it, however the pupils, as a class, should be made to rem - ove the plane bit and sharpen it and learn to replace it correctly. Pupils dislike to take a plane apart until the teacher proves to them that it is a simple operation. While the pupil is working on the exercise, certain periods should (be devoted to lectures and recitations on Moulding and Pattern Making, (chapters IV and V) so that these chapters are covered by the time the exercise is finished. Then the student will understand and can begin making the simple patterns in Chapter VI. Iflathes are scarce in the shop some pupils may be put at turning immediately after the first pattern. These pupils can then go back to the bench while others are turning. From parted patterns, to the end, the time spent on the bench preparing the pattern for the lathe, making the core box and finishing, exceeds the time spent at the lathe and a student need never be idle 'while waiting a chance to get on a lathe. Each student must have a bench. Each individual kit of tools should be as small as possible. Large kits are difficult to keep track of. Each boy needs only: bevel, square, back saw, gage, scribe, dividers, rule, dust brush, jack plane, block plane, V2 chisel, I chisel, inside gouge, and outside gouge. Sharpening out fits must be as convenient as possible. If pos sible supply each bench with an oilstone. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
