I would dearly love a copy of Weygers "Recycling, Reuse, and Repair of Tools"

I did an ILL and copied the chapter on making specialized triphammer dies
from trolly rail; but would like the whole shebang.  If anyone has an
extra copy or knows where one is please contact me at
[email-masked]

BTW has anyone seen the blacksmithing books published by the United Nations?
I thought the trick of using *cast iron* as a hardfacing material for
forged items was interesting...

If Steve can send me the publisher and ISBN number, one could do an
interlibrary loan. Of course, if an extra copy exists, one could copy the whole
shebang. My guess is all of Weygers' books are out of print.

BTW I have all three of the UN's blacksmithing books. As I recall, they each
cost $10. I don't remember the address of the UN printing house. They are
interesting to read.

Perhaps one of you that owns these books could offer to loan them to Lindsey or
Norm Larson for re-printing.  The rest of us would really appreciate it...
