An introduction to metalworking provides the basics, followed by creative design ideas and techniques specific to metal beadwork. Transform commercial beads using simple stamping, chasing, and dimpling. Use cold connections to produce riveted and woven beads from sheet and wire. Roll a simple Crescent Roll Bead, and create variations in the form by using patterned, textured, or hammered sheet metal.

"Making Metal Beads: Techniques, Projects, Inspiration by Pauline Warg demonstrates a number of techniques for making beads from metal as well as altering prefabricated metal beads. This book is designed for the metalsmith who also has a passion for beads, which is refreshing to see since metal work and bead work are often segregated for some reason. Warg shows how to use tubing, how to make cold connections, how to operate a hydraulic press, how to form domes with dapping block, and how to enhance commercial metal beads. This includes 25 metal bead projects. While finished jewelry incorporating metal beads is also shown throughout the full-color book, the emphasis is on making the beads, not necessary assembling the finished pieces shown. If you have been looking for a way to combine your love of metal with your love of beads, then this book is perfect for you. It is, however, not for the uninitiated metal person. Granted, there is plenty of "how-to" help throughout, great pictures, (and) loads of helpful text, but those without a lot of metal skills will find this challenging. So be patient. The results, though, are really worth it, because the beads and finished jewelry pieces are gorgeous." - About.com Jewelry Making
