Practical Sheet and Metal Work by Evan A. Atkins...

Whilst meandering around the web, I came across this, to me, quite intriguing book titled Practical Sheet and Plate Metal Work by Evan A. Atkins, published in 1908 by Sir. Isaac Pitman & Sons Ltd.

The images along are truly inspiring and, when combined with their suggestive utilitarian qualities, can easily lend themselves to an abundance of designs...

Food for thought (& action)...
