Full eBook: The Jewelry Maker

Full eBook.48 Pages: Jewelry and metalsmithing are hard work, and also very rewarding. There is great pleasure in creating with one's hands, in the process of taking raw materials and creating something. It's also fun to get dirty, and to bang really loud on a piece of metal. It's wonderful to have someone say, "Gosh, I love your earrings," and being able to respond, "Thanks, I made them." So whatever brought you here, and whatever motivates you to stay, welcome, and let's get to work! This book is a resource for you when you work on your own. The book is written as though you will be setting up your own workshop at home, so I discuss safety concerns, what type of tools to use, and how to set up your own area. Good luck and have a great time!

Introduction excerpt from the book:

"This book is a resource for you when you work on your own. The book is written as though you will be setting up your own workshop at home, so discuss safte concerns, what type of tools to use, and how to set up your own area."

"I wrote this book in 1992 and sold it as a photocopied-and bound affair. I've devided to give it away as a free ebook on my website now. In order to update it, I've deleted sources that are no longer in business, and made a few other minor changes."

I could update it completely, and add color photos, but then it wouldn't be a free ebook, would it?"
