Metalsmith's Book of Boxes and Lockets Book

A wonderful format for metalsmiths, boxes pose a variety of intriguing technical challenges--hinges should slide fluidly, seams should disappear, catches should click with confident assurance. In this book, Tim McCreight shows fellow metalsmiths how to master these and other box construction techniques. Guided by detailed demonstration photos and McCreight's expert instruction, even the novice metalworker will be ready to design his or her own original boxes.
