Review Jewelry Making Tips & Tricks of The Trade Feedback :
If you've been a little hesitant about branching into metal work, this is just the tool to boost your confidence. I took a metalsmithing class 2 years ago with every intention of getting started right after the class was over. Didn't happen. Was petrified about investing the effort until I found this book in a craft store a few months ago. This book explains procedures so well and the projects seem so "possible" that I have already purchased or made most of the tools, purchased the precious metals and have my uncle making me a bench. The explanations and photos are clear and easy to understand. The only (and it is the only one) thing that could improve the book is a conversion of mm to gauge.
