General crafters who feared that metalworking required pig iron, a blast furnace and the muscles of a village blacksmith need no longer worry with this guide to 50 basic metal projects, teaching the essential techniques for working with this material.
I thought this book had alot of very good information for someone new to metal work. I loved the instructions for how to achieve different patinas. Most of the 50 projects were very good, and the instructions were easy to follow. All in all it is a fun craft book.

There are some wonderful projects with detailed instructions. The projects range from tin can jewlery to cosmic copper table tops.

Making jewelery, sometimes limit imagination at only looking for a way to make metal wearable... Opening this book was for me a revelation about a wide possibility of using metal in other kind of crafted objects.Awesome presentation and pictures. A reference book.
