Craft of Silversmithing by Alex Austin

Twenty sterling silver designs, from a cuff bracelet to a curio container. Create shimmering, sophisticated silversmithed projects using different hammers, stakes and other simple tools. This fresh look at a clasic craft is a great introduction for beginners as well as a source for new techniques for those with more experience. Take a fresh look at the ancient craft of silversmithing with 18 projects that teach a solid body of skills. This full-color comprehensive manual provides artisans with a thorough understanding of silver's properties: what it is and how it behaves. Beginning, intermediate, and advanced techniques are explained and can be applied to crafting amazingly beautiful items. Use brushing, sawing, piercing, and polishing procedures to fashion a simple bud vase. Progress to a baby rattle or candleholder created with soldering, sinking, dapping, and forging techniques. Ultimately you'll have the expertise to complete a martini set, lidded container, or teapot.
