A great book for beginners with plenty of good information and
projects for more experienced metalworkers. As a novice, I found
the information and instructions in this book very helpful. There
are lots of photos and explanation of techniques, tools, and
materials to guide me through the projects, and handy reference
information that would make this book good to refer back to. Lots
of cool projects too! I would definitely recommend this book for
those starting out in metalworking or wanting to brush up their
skills.--April Gray, Bookseller "Barnes and Noble "
A great book for the crafty in your life.--Janet Cousineau "The
Glen Cairn Community Resource Centre "
The photography and illustrations are well done and support the
instructions well.--Nonstop Reader
