Review
As usual, Tim McCreight has created an awe inspiring (and inspirational) book with great direction, beautiful photos, unique creativity --Amazon reader

Excellent instructions, good photos, and even new ideas. Inspirational. --Amazon reader

I must concur with the general consensus that McCreight's book are all essential resources for the metalsmith. --Amazon reader

Product Description
This book is a follow-up to the highly successful "Jewelry Fundamentals of Metalsmithing" and has the same high quality photos and practical information. In addition to featuring scores of exciting boxes by contemporary designers from around the world, the book describes dozens of hinges, catches and construction techniques in practical detail. Intended for intermediate metalsmiths, this book will not only teach you how to make that special hinge, but get you excited about what to do with it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Overview of Box Making, March 13, 2008
By R. Robertson (Missouri, United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is a good introduction to the challenges and problems of making closing containers. As always, Tim McCreight includes process, principles and tips for success. The pieces included from other artist's are inspiring. If you are interested in making hinged containers and catches, this is a must have. My students grab this book from the shelf all the time to use as reference.

5.0 out of 5 stars Metalsmith's Book of Boxes and Lockets, January 18, 2009
By Cadmentr (Beamsville, ON CA) - See all my reviews
This book is just what the metalsmith ordered for anyone interested in creating boxes and or lockets.
Mr. McCreight's instructions are clean clear and precise, and when followed yield wonderful treasures.

From 90 degree corners to hinges to hidden catches are covered in this book. No good metalsmith should be without this book in their reference library.
