The Thames and Hudson Manual of Direct Metal Sculpture

By Trevor Faulkner

Discusses in detail the mechanical processes used, such as hand and machine cutting, shaping, soldering and welding as well as such decorative techniques as etching, carving, repousse and engraving. 

From the back cover: A sculpture in directly worked metal is itself the prototype and the original, and no other hand or process comes between the artist and the finished work.. . . This highly practical manual . . . covers a wide range of techniques: hand and machine cutting processes; methods of three-dimensional shaping; soldering and arc welding; and chemical and mechanical treatment of metal surfaces."
