The ABCs of Metalworking

From A to Z, this playful alphabet book turns the world of metalworking into a story kids can enjoy and grown-ups will instantly recognize. Each letter introduces a real concept from the shop floor, from Arc Welding and Boring Bars to Yield Strength and Zinc. With simple language, witty nods to workshop life, and just enough sparks flying, it is a fast, fun read that doubles as a surprisingly sharp primer on the tools, techniques, and materials that shape metal into just about everything. Along the way, little readers will discover CNC Machines, Forges, Lathes, and Milling Machines. They will learn why Safety Glasses matter, what Quenching does, and how a trusty Vise holds it all together. Every page pairs a core metalworking topic with humor that will make machinists, welders, and fabricators smile. Perfect as a gift for colleagues with young children, this is an ABCs book with just enough grit to make you laugh.
