Review: Great all around book on metalworking! - I got this for myself in 2014 and I bought another for my daughter just this month. It looks like it may be out of print as it was only available used, which is a shame. This book is great for the beginner (me, still) as well as a great reference for anyone involved in using, casting, and jewelry making. It's well laid out (including tabs you can copy and put in the book) with easy to read text and very clean diagrams. The stones section is marvelous!
Review: A Valuable Resource - This book covers everything you wanted to know about metals,stones, tools, history, procedures, techniques, workshop furnishings, etc, and then some. It is not a beginner's how to book, though it shows many techniques and procedures succinctly and provides a wide foundation of knowledge, with nice hand drawn illustrations. It it a wonderful reference to add to your metalsmithing library. The binding allows it to lie flat for easy reference. You have the option of attaching plastic tabs to the various chapter headings which are marked on the edge of the page, for quick access to the material you are seeking.There are numerous charts and tables. I consider this one of the best books in my metalsmithing library, and I highly recommend it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you're a novice or expert jewelry smith you need this book!
*by C***E on December 15, 2015*

This book was published back in 1995 however is still chock full of vital information for any jewelry-smith. There is so much information out there that it is impossible to remember it all and each section has vital statistics to reference back to. There is also a handy guide inside with useful tips and tricks that can help from novice to expert. I have seen the newest released version of this book and can state with confidence that you can get this copy for a drastically reduced price and not miss out on vital information changes with the newer release.
