I hope all of you who aspire to metal work will find some help from this.
Finding the articles is simple and free! You just look them up in your local library. Every public library receives most of the magazines listed in this section, although for really old articles or for magazines that have gone out of business, you will have to go to an older library or find one that has a microfilm file that goes back far enough.
Usually you will have to fill out a "call" slip that states the name of the magazine you want and the date. We have listed the name of the article (as it appears in the magazine) first, the name of the magazine, the issue number, page number and the date. Library procedures vary, so check with the front desk if you have any question.
For example: -- Metal finishing in the home shop;Pop Mech,64:626,O'35(name of article) (Magazine)(issue#,page,date,year)
Even though some of the information in these articles may be out of date, the prices way off - and in the older ones you mayhave to use more caution with chemicals and procedures thanindicated.
