Summary "The Library of Work and Play: Working in Metals" by Charles Conrad Sleffel is an instructional manual focused on metalworking, likely written in the early 20th century. This book serves as both a comprehensive guide for beginners and a resource for experienced craftsmen, detailing various techniques and projects involving metals such as copper, brass, and silver. It aims to empower individuals, especially young learners, by making metalworking accessible and enjoyable. The opening of the text introduces the reader to the world of metalworking through a conversation between two boys, John and his friend, who is eager to learn how to create metalwork items. John shares his enthusiasm for crafting objects from copper, emphasizing the enjoyment he derives from the process. He offers to teach his friend, explaining that with the right tools and guidance, anyone can learn to work with metals. This engaging start sets the tone for a practical approach to learning metalwork, laying the groundwork for the detailed instructions and projects that follow throughout the book.
