Ganoksin’s 2014 Books & Gift Certificates Giveaway is Announced!
The Ganoksin Project announces a milestone reached: 43 complete rare
antique metalsmithing books have been scanned and published as
searchable pdfs. These books are technical marvels, full of
forgotten no longer available. They date from 1871 to
1926 with over 5000 pages crammed with detail.
This project brings jewelry history alive, gives voice again to
forgotten authors, their opinions and technical secrets. There are
literally thousands of recipes, alloys and processes described in
the books, as well as books on gemology and silversmithing
masterpieces. Each book has a full review and description written by
Charles Lewton-Brain available on the Ganoksin site. There are more
books that will be added.
These books cover special techniques in depth like chasing,
repousee, engraving, niello making, Japanese chiseling, soldering,
construction, patination, metal coloring, silversmithing and more.
Many of the tricks and recipes described will save the maker money,
as older approaches can sometimes replace modern tools.
Unlike most ebooks the Ganoksin pdf is a full digital book of
searchable text and images, with easy access through an interactive
table of contents. Most images are scanned at high resolution and
then embedded in the text allowing them to be magnified and stay
readable. The books are available for $5.00 each with the funds
going to support the cost of the project and Ganoksin ongoing costs.
