This review is from: Metal: Design and Fabrication (Hardcover)

As someone who has a background in the fine arts and who has recently began working at a metal shop I found this book to be an extremely valuable and understandable introduction into the world of metal fabrication. It is well writen with many color photograghs. It is not ment for the advanced metal worker, except maybe as a reference, but as a beginer it is a must read.
