  • Jewelry Making: Techniques for Metal by Tim McCreight
I always buy McCreight's books. They're an essential source for any metalsmith. I first started working with metal in the late sixties and, forty years later, I still turn to McCreight for information.

  • Not bad at all
really not bad. Probably would have given 5 stars if it was in color. Don't know why I didn't know it was all black and white. Some illustrations weren't that clear. But textual information was good.

  • Are you Serious!
No books on jewelry making are better than Tim McCreights. His books are recommended at the college for all jewelry makes. This book answers so many questions- its basic, no nonsense approach is what all who learn how to work metal need. I highly reccomend this book

  • Jewelry Making by Tim McCreight
While this book has a great deal of viable information, I found it a bit cumbersome to follow along without the addition of illustration, photos or other diagrams to illustrate the techniques being taught. I personally find it much easier to learn a technique when there are visual references to corresond with the steps. All in all, it seemed a bit outdated compared to the other instructional books on the market. ... show more

  • speedy delivery
The arrived earlier than expected. Has lots of information and could have used more diagrams and step by step instructions. I would not recommend this book to the beginning metal worker.
