Review
"Idea Central" is one way of describing this book. Alan sees possibilities—and solutions—everywhere. -- Charles Lewton-Brain, Brain Press

Product Description
Alan Revere--acclaimed designer, author, and educator--now shares his most valuable bench tips and tricks in 101 Bench Tips for Jewelers. Based on the monthly column in AJM, this book will help any jewelry speed production, improve quality, and raise profits at the bench. Filled with helpful, full-color illustrations, this publication offers tips for all aspects of bench work, from soldering to stone setting, piercing to final polish. Discover how you can modify common bench tools to enhance productivity; how household items such as dental floss and paper clips can become valuable bench aides; and how easy difficult repairs can be with the help of a few tricks. 101 Bench Tips for Jewelers is a resource you'll return to for many years to come.

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent studio reference, April 6, 2005
By James Binnion "jbin" (Washington State) - See all my reviews
Alan's latest book is a nicely illustrated collection of useful tidbits. Each page contains an illustrated tip that will be a help to the jeweler or metalsmith. One of the best things about the book is the way it shows "thinking outside of the box" solutions to problems encountered day to day in the studio. It is a good companion to his other technical books Professional Goldsmithing and Ring Repair. No bench jeweler should be without all three.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bench Tips, October 12, 2005
This is an expensive book for a soft cover but the information inside is priceless. I have been making jewellery for over 20 years and have already found things in it that will make my life in the workshop much easier and more efficient.

3.0 out of 5 stars 101 Bench Tips for Jewelers, September 25, 2006
By Sandra L. Essex (Franklin NC USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Rather overpriced for the amount of information in the book. The last twelve pages are simply advertisements. I have another book of Revere's, a very good one, and expected much more from him when I saw that he had written this one. I was quite disappointed in this book at this price.
