Glass engraving techniques

This book is a very good review of techniques of engraving with an overall look at the subject.

Techniques of Glass Engraving

This is an excellent book for those who want to learn copper wheel engraving. As for other types of glass decoration, it only briefly touches on them.

The Techniques Of Glass Engraving

This is about the best glass engraving book I have. Although most of the techniques seem to be aimed at the experienced engraver, it has some excellent information & techniques for the hobbyist & is generally very interesting & useful. It has some good ideas for home-built equipment & an excellent, comprehensive bibilography. It also has a list of manufacturers & suppliers of glass engraving equipment that is quite useful . All round, an excellent addition to a glass engravers library, or for anyone with an interest in glass & galssware.
