Average Customer Ratings:
This handsome book is twice as large as the STUDENT EDITION. IT COVERS THE SAME MATERIAL, but goes into greater depth. A rigid fabric cover and elastic band makes this a place to store sketches and notes; more than a book, it's a practical tool.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Very complete and technical book - 
This book is very complete and technical. I would recommend it for someone who is serious about learning metalsmithing. I am a beginner myself, and some topics are beyond my ability. However, I think the book will be a great reference for a long time as continue to learn.

Great Book for any metal enthusiast -
Recently I have returned to playing with metal in designing jewelry, mixed media art, and fine art. The author of this book - Tim McCreight is world-known for his work and providing books to help others learn the basics and some of his own "tricks" in manipulating metal. I have to say this book is one of his best and probably the one I hold in highest regard. It it thorough. It is well written. It is full of high quality, often with color to help know which piece is what when working an item. It is well organized. The appendices are SUPERB - from safety (ventilation, repetitive motion, chemicals) to suppliers to geometric formulas to melting points to conversion factors to properly photographing jewelry AND MORE! It is a great starting point for all those who are seriously interested in pursuing this type of work as a hobby or art.
Some of McCreight's other books (e.g.Practical Joining) are often rehashes with a bit more thoroughness of this book, while others (e.g. on PMC - precious metal clay) cover other topics. Of the numerous books by MeCreight in my library, I refer to this one first. The spriral binding is great and thus when I have to review something when working, the book lies flat and doesn't need to be held down in order to stay in place.
The only drawback is that the cover (at least my version) tends to attact fuzz or dog hair when I take it from my work area to review sections in my home. Weird...luckily tape takes care of that problem for I don't want to give up my pets!
So for beginners to advanced workers in metal - get this book first...or second if you want a more beginner book to see if this work is really for you. Other books by McCreight should be considered IF you are interested in pursuing various aspects of metalwork in detail (e.g. "Metals Technic" - book based on his workshops and focused on producing quality pieces in various methodologies...but some of the images in it have much to be desired - ?new addition might help that???).
Great selections of branded hammocks at
- surely the ultimate teak furniture store!
very informative book -
this book gives lessons on how to do pretty much everything pertaining to the craft of jewelry making. i'm very pleased with the amount of information, i just wish this book offered project ideas on on how to apply the lessons learned. thats my only complaint, and otherwise i truly enjoy this book.
