Decorative Metalworking

Decorative Metalworking

Editorial Reviews Book Description This fine collection of projects requires only a few simple tools and a basic knowledge of metal working to complete. The wide assortment of ornamental designs presented here can be forged, using inexpensive scrap metal, into beautiful yet fully functional items for around the house, to be given as gifts or sold at craft shows and bazaars. Step-by-step, illustrated instructions describe how to mold decorative plant stands, hanging lamps, vases, scrolled brackets and hinges, wind vanes, letter racks and openers, and much more. Projects for the kitchen are especially useful: hammered bowls and trays, napkin rings, tableware, escutcheon plates with handles, pastry cutters, and a variety of accessories. Except for a brief introductory section on special metalworking techniques, the book provides self-contained directions and line drawings for each project. And, while no heavy bending or welding is necessary, many of the projects can be enhanced by readers who have experience with a propane torch. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
