Talk:Metalworking
From Academic Kids
Under the heading 'TECHNIQUES', the addition of FABRICATION should be added.
Metal working employs all that human civilisation has learnt and refined, in the development of tools, which are extensions of the human hand, measurement from the eye, and the ability to create. To create an object in metal you use the methods of taking away, by grinding, building up by fabrication of forms and shapes from sections of metal, either in plate, sheet, bar, rod, or wire. Welding is the main process of fabrication, so is the holding together of sections by means of bolting.
