$30 $40 In stock

Stamping is not only one of the most universal techniques in metalworking, but one of the most versatile. This long awaited volume gives the technique the extensive coverage it deserves. Thoughtful attention to tools and materials provides a solid foundation for the step-by-step descriptions that make up the core of the book — more than three dozen specific stamps presented in photographs that illustrate the steps in making each one. A separate chapter is dedicated to showing how several, sometimes many, stamps are used together to develop patterns.

Further enriching the field, the author has conducted interviews with artists who specialize in stamping, collecting cultural history from around the world. Another welcome addition is the inclusion of a photographic archive of more than 300 historic stamps.

Riley L. ★★★★★

I've been looking for a book that really gets into the versatility of stamping as a metalworking technique, and this volume finally delivers. The coverage is extensive enough to take me from basic concepts to advanced applications without feeling rushed.

Evelyn I. ★★★★★

The step-by-step photo sequences finally clarified how to control depth and spacing—something I've struggled with for years. I flipped through it cover to cover the first night.

Benjamin ★★★★★

After years of stamping just by feel, I found the detailed diagrams in this volume a total game-changer for planning out complex patterns. The coverage of metalworking techniques is surprisingly deep for a single book, and it's already saved me from several costly mistakes on the press.
