the metal craft book

I thought this book had alot of very good information for someone new to metal work. I loved the instructions for how to achieve different patinas. Most of the 50 projects were very good, and the instructions were easy to follow. All in all it is a fun craft book.

stimulating the creative juices

This book has made it into my bathroom bookcase. We all know where the best books are kept. Whether you are a beginner at metal smithing or a pro looking for inspiration, this is an excellent book. There are some wonderful projects with detailed instructions. The projects range from tin can jewlery to cosmic copper table tops. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is or wants to be creative.
