Chapter 21: Additional Crafts Book III, Chapter 21 Section I. [LIB: 3. CHAP. 22. in the 1905 edition and the revised original text] Now to draw to a conclusion of this Third book of Armory, let me beg the Patience of the courteous Reader, as to take these after Gleaning in as good part as if they had com in at the full tyme of Harvest; when other Instruments of the like professions, were in some part treated of before. But it could not be expected I should set them then down, when the obtaineing of them was at such tyme as this part was neere halfe printed off. Tin-man Book III, Chapter 21, Section 1 Tin Mans Instruments. Flat punch ![]() Round hollow punch ![]() ![]() Chisel ![]() Square plyers ![]() Round plyers ![]() Tin mallet ![]() Nippers ![]() Shears ![]() Soldering iron ![]() Soldering iron ![]() Creasing and rivetting hammers ![]() The Revitting Hamer is a small Hammer much like this, broad and sharp at one end, and flatt at the other. Small stag ![]() Creasing stag ![]() Un-named tin mans tool No image located In the sinister base of this square is ----. It hath a round smooth face from thence growing Taper downwards for a 2 or 3 Inches, it hath a sharp point at the bottom with a shoulder, so that setting it in a fitt hole on a Bench, it rests on the shoulder and can go no further in. There are of these, that haue square faces and all the rest square down as this is round, which are termed square. Creasing iron ![]() This is made much after the same maner as the Stag, saue this hath a much longer top, and slenderer, the face being halfe smooth and the other part nicked as the others. At the smooth end of the face there is a round hole through it and one Nick just at the out side of it. Planishing anvil ![]() The face hereof is of an escochion form with a round bottom: the body is a little taper, vnder it there is a foure square point or bottom to set in a Hole to the shouldering place. Small baken ![]() This is a long and narrow foure square face till it com to the shank on which the body rests or is fixed, from thence it runs as long to a Taper point, the body vnder runs also Taper, which mak the broad end and the point end sharp. There are these sorts of Bakens both small and great, which they doe descipher by these names; the small Baken, the Middle Baken, and the Larg Baken. Some haue a Fall in the Midle of the face, neere to the shanke, others more, some less. See numb. 19. Planishing hammer ![]() Hollow hammer ![]() This is so termed by Tyn men, though the both ends are Globicall; but it is because they work, or make Tyn hollow with it. This is born by the name of Bartrand. This is in the eye foure square, from thence to the back of the round faces, six square: It is long in the body, and no longer in the handle. Besides these the Tyn man useth many other Instruments or Tooles, as Hammer, compasses, Iron Ruler, &c: but being in other Tooles of Tradesmen I pass them off in this place. ![]()
