折疊成型 - 查爾斯·盧頓·布萊恩

I've been hammering metal for years, but this book's technique for creating complex three-dimensional shapes from flat sheet is a complete game-changer. The folding sequences and edge-finishing methods are explained so clearly that I was able to produce a finished bracelet on my first try.

The step-by-step photos alone are worth the price, but the way he breaks down each fold sequence makes complex techniques feel totally doable. I’ve already made three pieces using the methods from chapter four, and my workshop buddies keep asking where I learned it.

I’ve been experimenting with the foldforming techniques for a few weeks now, and the way Charles Lewton-Brain breaks down the metal-shaping process makes it incredibly approachable. The sections on hinge and line folds are especially clear, with diagrams that actually show what happens at each step.
