Best Book to Learn Wire Inlay?
« on: September 12, 2021, 05:36:32 AM »
Hey all,

What’s the best resource, in your opinion, to learn wirework/wire inlay?

This is something that I would like to start attacking and practicing!

Best,
Allen

Try these video. 






Also a Google of Joe Keeslar will provide a few more good ideas.

Hi Allen,
Dave Price has a good book about wire inlay.  You can get it from  his website:

Say, any of you boys smithies? Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'?

Thanks all!

Mike—I’m in the build from a blank class next month! I wish I could take the class next year on wirework, but will probably be unable too.

I think my budget/wife’s patience will only allow me one field trip to Friendship for a while.

Maybe you could give me a few notes during class?

Cheers,
Allen
