A different way of working metal -
This is a fabulous exploration of this form of metalworking. It got me all excited to try it right away. The descriptions are clearly written and illustrated. I'm a student metalworker, less than a year's experience, but I felt that I could follow the directions and have an interesting result and with practice have some truly new and fascinating pieces. This will allow me to take my work in a whole new direction.
Foldforming -
Foldforming is a new adventure for me .I have found the basics of the process in this book.Beautiful pictures more than enough explaination of the process to do good work.I can't wait to add some to my line of Jewelry.
absolutely fantastic brilliant metalworking and idea expansion book!! -
I have just decided to write this review having been sat on this book for months! I got it before xmas and flicked through it and thought, cool. Then left it alone until now.
I have, over the last week read and re read this cover to cover. It is BRILLIANT. Even if you feel your not really into foldforming or manipulating large amounts of metal - somehow charles lewton brain crosses some kind of conversational/literature boundary and makes you feel engaged in a dialogue with him. Its unbelievable and has made me think that I need to go and buy every jewellery book this guy has ever written!! He discusses the possibilities of things and the absolute fundamental technique of doing it in the most basic step by step formats. He has done this book in such a clever way, I can't even fully put my finger on how he's done this - but somehow this book has made me feel more competent and capable than I have in ages. I've had exciting discovery after exciting discovery these last few days. Its been brilliant. Upon first glance I seriously underestimated this book - I could see it was good and nicely done, but I really underestimated its actual conversation.. It seems to me that one of the things thats so good about its teaching content is how unassuming and simple he makes things seem - very "undaughnting". It makes you feel like you can just go and have a crack at it with little or no cost - to just play about and see what you come up with. I love it. (and recommend it. lol)
Great selections of branded hammocks at
- surely the ultimate teak furniture store!
A Wonder-Filled Grimoire -
I'm a rank amateur when it comes to abstract metal work. I make jewelry in a mildly lucrative cottage industry capacity, but all of my stuff prior to this book was all very literal. This book quite literally changed the way that I looked at the craft.
Totally inspiring. Absolutely fun. Probably the best $35 I've ever spent.
Now if only I had more sheet metal. Lots more sheet metal. Fooey.
