Σελίδα 233 - Review claims to be the best tool. The steel should be forged at a low temperature, so as to be sure not to burn it, and then tempered as hard as possible in a bath of salt water that has been well boiled. Such a drill will go through glass very rapidly if kept well moistened with turpentine in which some camphor has been dissolved. Dilute sulphuric acid is equally good, if not better. It is stated that at Berlin glass castings for pump barrels, etc...
Σελίδα 234 - To make imitation ground glass that steam will not destroy, put a piece of putty in muslin, twist the fabric tight and tie it into the shape of a pad; well clean the glass first, and then putty it all over. The putty will exude sufficiently through the muslin to render the stain opaque. Let it dry hard; and then varnish. If a pattern is required, cut it out in paper as a stencil, place it so as not to slip and proceed as above, removing the stencil when finished. If there should be any objection...
Σελίδα 192 - The strength of a chain is the strength of its weakest link, the engineers tell us," said Longworth, " and it is the same with evidence.
Σελίδα 232 - The process is very simple. The line of the cut should be marked by chalk, or by pasting a thin strip of paper alongside of it; then make a file mark to commence the cut; apply the hot iron and a crack will start; and this crack will follow the iron wherever we choose to lead it. In this way jars are easily made out of old bottles, and broken vessels of different kinds may be cut up into new forms. Flat glass may also be cut into the most intricate and elegant forms.
Σελίδα 233 - Berlin glass castings for pump-barrels are drilled, planed and bored like iron ones, and in the same lathes and machines, by the aid of sulphuric acid. A little practice with these different plans will enable the operator to cut and work glass as easily as brass or iron.
Σελίδα 218 - The hold-fast is put into one of the holes, the work to be held is put under the pad, and the screw is turned until the work is firmly fixed. This hold-fast is used when the wood to be carved is too thin for the carver's screw to be inserted into it, and when it is not desirable to glue it down on another board. In using this hold-fast...
Σελίδα 231 - For cutting ordinary flat glass, such as window glass, or for cutting curved, round, oval, or irregularly-shaped pieces out of flat glass, the diamond is the best tool ; and, if the operator has no diamond it will always pay to carry the job to a glazier rather than waste time and make a poor job by other and inferior means. When, however, it is required to cut off a very little from a circle or oval, the diamond is not available, except in very skilful hands. In this case a pair of pliers softened...
Σελίδα 220 - After having cleansed off the stone carefully, put a little oil on it, take one of your chisels, the handle in your right hand, put it on the stone, and holding it at the angle at which it has been ground, place the fingers of the left hand on the face, and with a moderate pressure rub it steadily backwards...
Σελίδα xi - It is always wise to commence at the very beginning, and in this book the author has endeavoured to start at the ABC of carpentry and to cover the subject step by step from the simple matter of sawing off a piece of board to the construction of furniture and small buildings.
Σελίδα 65 - ... at any moment. But by those who have devoted the most careful attention to the subject, the f¡ict stands unquestioned that the strongest glue is that which is purest and which gelatinizes or sets most completely. Glue being an animal substance, it must be kept sweet, and free from putrefaction ; to do this it is necessary to keep it cool after it is once dissolved, and while not in use. The most serious defects in glue are the mixture of extraneous matters and incipient putrefaction. There are...
