The Platinum Bench: An Illustrated Guide to Easy Platinum Repairs and Fabrication
by Jurgen J. Maerz
Winner, 2002 Apex Award for Publication Excellence!

Renowned platinumsmith Jurgen J. Maerz, director of technical education for Platinum Guild International USA, shows how platinum isn't difficult, just different and, with the help of these step-by-step, illustrated lessons, it can be easy. The Platinum Bench provides comprehensive instruction on a variety of bench techniques, from resizing rings and replacing heads to making a platinum band with 18k inlay. It also includes guides to selecting platinum alloys, preparing for platinum bench work, and casting platinum in a small shop.

The Platinum Bench is comprehensive, well organized, and a great teaching tool it's a reference for everyone from a novice to someone who needs to refresh their memory.
