Great Books for Metal Work

The first edition of Bobby Hansson's book is what originally got me interested in tin work.This is the revised edition, now out of print I believe.Try to find it though, because the addition of the Old Friends, New Faces is well worth it. Harriette Estel Berman's tea cups grace the cover. Please check out her site and send your unwanted pencils to her for the big project she's working on.

This book by Linda and Opie O'Brien has tons of information and project ideas. I especially like the photos of the tools they show, very helpful. They also have a web site where tools and their book may be purchased. Click here .
