"Providing a clear and comprehensive guide to the techniques of the silver-smith and jewller, Practical Silver-smithing and Jewelry has been written both for the beginner and the more advanced craftsman.
A chapter on the workshop explaining how best to organise your tools and equipment is followed by a chapter on the metals you may want to use and their characteristics.  Subsequent chapters are devoted to individual techniques, the tools you need for them, the best methods to adopt, and the range of possibilities they suggest.  A glossary and tables of useful information are also included."
