If you enjoy working with metal using simple hand tools, then you will
be keen to learn the techniques and methods described in the
Decorative Metal Work ebook.
It is by no means difficult to do.The basic requirements are; brains - hands & basic tools.

Brains to originate and develop the ideas; hands and skilful fingers to work
out the ideas, and basic tools to turn the metal into solid form.

You can learn the special techniques used to form:

• Rod & Wire.
• Band & Strip or Ribbon work

• Sheet metal repousse work.

Decorative metal work can be done with everyday basic hand tools. For light sheet work - which is the first step to metal working - the following tools are all that is necessary:

• A pair of shears or tinsnips.
• A pair of cutting pliers.
• A pair of round nosed and another longer nosed pliers.
• A punch for making holes in the metal.
• A reimer for enlarging holes.
• A long pointed awl, also useful for marking out designs and tracing patterns onto metal.
• A small anvil, a template for the purpose of bending curves (these may be made out of rods of wood or iron), and lastly a ball peen hammer.

A large proportion of metal working shapes evolve around curves and scrolls. The round nosed, or pointed pliers can be used to form small scrolls. A more advanced method is to make up some formers, which can be used to roll the wire or metal around to the desired shape. All of these simple tools are described to you in detail.


The Beauty of an "S" curve.

To do this, commence with the simplest designs and use the commonest material. The beauty of the work consists in the general effect it has by appealing to the artistic sense of the individual.The article may be unpretentious and simple in itself, the workmanship not by any means perfect, yet it will possess a charm that can hardly be described.
