Sinossi

Patternmaking Kinks offers practical, hands-on guidance for fast, accurate results in patternmaking.

This book presents clear, real‑world techniques for patternmakers, focusing on tools, lathes, and the work attitudes that speed production without sacrificing quality. It explains hardware choices, lathe setup, and how to use a carriage, tool‑posts, and rests to complete jobs efficiently.



Beyond equipment, it covers how wood grain, fillets, and strategic additions or removals affect the final casting. The text also explains stopping off patterns to save time and money, with concrete, work‑able examples you can apply in a shop today.




  • Guidance on choosing turning tools, tool handles, and lathe features for pattern work.

  • Advice on grain direction, warping, and the role of fillets in durable patterns.

  • Practical methods for parting patterns, using cores, and avoiding common molding defects.

  • Tips to save pattern work through stopping off and other cost‑saving practices.



Ideal for readers of patternmaking, foundry work, and machinery pattern construction.
