The Complete Metalsmith

by Tim McCreight

The Complete Metalsmith really lives up to its title.  Everything seems to be covered, from rivets to sand casting to crimping to woven chain to mallets to jewel setting to patina recipes, well as a number of other things I haven't time to mention.  Every page has helpful diagrams and sketches.  The book is spiral bound, so it lays flat for your easy consultation while working.

There is nothing medieval about this book - the word doesn't even appear in the index.  However, it will be helpful to the person making jewelry, casting pilgrim's badges or armouring.  People who teach these crafts recommend it highly.
