1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Great resource.By Peter J. SainsburyExcellent book covering basic and more advanced techniques of old fashioned metal working; Not a CNC lather or laser cutter in sight.Very useful for modellers and artists working in sheet metal and wanting to know more about traditional methods that out modern broad based schools no longer see fit to teach; probably on the basis it may be useful and would require employing a person with some real skill; common sense and ability to communicate clearly instead of an MA to teach it.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. good resourceBy Atinnice little book for a tinkererwritten well and easy for a hobbyist to understanda good variety of techniques and projectsnice little book0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. getting crafty with metalBy daveA good book for beginning metalworking.
