Sheet Metal Bible is a compendium of sheet metal fabrication projects, everything from simple shaping operations to multi-piece creations like fenders and motorcycle gas tanks. Each of these operations is photographed in detail, including the building of a buck when necessary. Meaty captions help the reader to understand what's really happening as a flat sheet of steel slowly morphs into the convex side of a gas tank. The book is filled with work by legendary fabricators like Ron Covell, Rob Roehl and Bruce Terry. Side bars scattered throughout the book include interviews that help explain how each of these master metal men learned his craft, which tools they prefer, and where to put the seams on a multi-piece fabrication project.

Most of the things around us are made up of more or less heterogenous mixtures of particles, and the paper, paint, and ink industries also use colloidal systems, either in the final product or at crucial stages in the manufacture. This book provides an introduction to the understanding of the behaviour of such systems.

This book is a basic introduction to lost-wax casting with emphasis on jewelry making. It is designed to be used both as a textbook and a reference book and is directed primarily at beginners. Experienced casters, however, will probably find some useful ideas; they may even find some new techniques. Heavy emphasis is placed upon understanding why things are done in a particular way, rather than simply presenting a set of cookbook rules that will always work. The book is also available in a 8.5x11 inch comb-bound version for use in the shop or classroom. See ISBN 0-9679600-1-0.

Dieses Fachbuch stellt die wichtigsten Umformverfahren und die dazugehoerigen Maschinen und Werkzeuge in pragnanter Form vor. Die Umformtechnik setzt sich in der industriellen Fertigung immer mehr durch, da viele Formteile dadurch wirtschaftlicher hergestellt werden koennen. Es werden typische Anwendungen und Einsatzgebiete vorgestellt. Beispiele und Testfragen ermoeglichen die Eigenkontrolle des Lernfortschritts. In der 12. Auflage wurden Inhalte beim Tiefziehen, Biegen, Schneiden, Fugen durch Umformen und den Umformmaschinen uberarbeitet und erganzt. Die Schmierstoffaufbringung wird erstmals dargestellt.
