Forming Copper: A Beginner's Guide
Forming Copper: A Beginner’s Guide. This is an introduction to the basics of forming copper. Since 1973 I have made my living designing, crafting and selling metal sculpture, using copper in conjunction with other metals.
Copper is a malleable metal allowing the artist or craft person to take what they see in their mind and bring it into form. I am not a copper smith by trade so the techniques I describe are for the lay person and thus non-technical. What’s described and shown are the techniques I use to form copper. Included are simple copper forming tools that the average person can easily make at little or no cost. Included are over 40 photos or illustrations.
Table of Contents: What is Copper?, Price of Copper, Where I Buy Copper, Metal Warehouses, Metal Recyclers, Roofing Shops, Buying on the Internet, Copper Tubing, Soft Copper in Coils, Rigid Copper Tubing, Cutting Sheet Copper, Annealing Copper,
Tools for Forming Copper, The Stump, Forming Mallets, Copper Bowl, Planishing, A Simple Forming Tool, Making Louvers, Finishing Copper, Patinas, Acid for Cleaning Copper, Flame Coloring Copper

The Art of Whittling (Woodworking Classics Revisited)
One of the earliest guides to traditional whittling, this reprint of a 1930s classic preserves all of the original projects and text and adds updated drawings for the contemporary whittler. This manual is still sought after by whittlers because it explains how to carve many items popular in American tramp art and more complicated items that are not included in most whittling books, such as continuous wooden chairs, hand tools, puzzles, balls inside spirals, swivels, entwined hearts, and buildings inside bottles. The line art has been redrawn, color added, and additional art included, making this unique book valuable to a new generation of whittlers.
