Product Description

Product Description

Take a fresh look at the ancient craft of silversmithing with 18 projects that teach a solid body of skills. This full-color, comprehensive manual provides artisans with a thorough understanding of silvers properties: what it is and how it behaves. Beginning, intermediate, and advanced techniques are explained and then applied to craft amazingly beautiful items, from accessories to wearables and extraordinary gifts. Use brushing, sawing, piercing, and polishing procedures to fashion a simple bud vase. Progress to a baby rattle or candleholder created with soldering, sinking, dapping, and forging techniques. Ultimately youll have the expertise to complete a martini set, lidded container, or teapot. The art of silversmithing has never been easier or more enjoyable.

1.0 out of 5 stars The Craft of Silversmithing - Not!, 16 Dec 2008
By John (Shropshire) - See all my reviews
I think there are far better books out there on this subject. There is a real art to giving a written description of a process and for me this book fails to deliver. Having got a little bit of knowledge of the subject I was looking for something to take me onto the next step - this book didn't do it and for the beginner it would be frustrating and confusing. To top if off I think that the projects featured are a bit clumsy and some are acutally downright ugly! The final insult was a series of 'Sterling Words' intermingled in the text - an example of which is 'Unless you want to wear out your tools faster than a cat shreds string, I strongly recommend learning to use them the right way'. Do cats shred string?
