    Those Branson books were the most valuable tools I had to get myself
    motivated and confident to pursue the art of jewelry. Period. Tim
    McCreight was just a young whippersnapper in those days... just like
    me. We didn't have "Practical Metalsmith" in back then. 

    I loaned Oscar's Vol. I to a neighborhood kid who wanted to use his
    Dad's silver to make some jewelry, but it turned out to be too much
    work. He returned the book a couple weeks later.. 

    Those Branson books are still a treasure-trove for those who choose
    to take advantage of the lessons contained therein. 

All the best,
