Book Reviews of Wiresmithing -The New Look Of Wire Art
Book Review: Basics fro beginners with those who want very little equipment
Summary: 5 Stars
This book covers two things
1) how to do simple pronged cab settings with a basic wire wrap.
2) How to wire fuse to create bails and simple settings
The projects are not sophisticated. Thought with all of Jim's work, he shows you the basics and you can go beyond as you see fit.
You can spend hundred of dollars on other methods, books, DVDs etc.
If you want the basics, and simple concepts and less equipment, JIM McIntosh is THE answer.
He even gives you option how to do "metalsmithing" with and without rotary tools, fusing, etc.
It is a basic book. To me, you can embellish: twist a wire, fuse and add to the design.
I loved it..but do understand:
1) this is more like wire wrap or the next step after.
2) this is very very very basic.
3) extremely few finished projects...or embellishment ideas
