Book Description/Synopsis:

Metal Artist's Workbench provides readers with everything they need to know to use the jeweller's saw by deconstructing the skill into two components: understanding exactly how the tool works and then how to actually use it for maximum efficiency. The book is divided into two parts: a thorough techniques section followed by 15 projects - including pins, pendants, display art, a photo frame and more. In addition to demystifying the saw itself, Thomas gives readers adequate information on the jeweller's bench pin - the 'silent partner' in the sawing process. Sidebars containing photos of several established artists' own bench pins will offer provocative breaks in the book, as will many inspiring gallery photos of Thomas' own work.
