Synopsis: Create 25 striking metalwork projects for your home with just a few basic skills -- and without a torch or solder. Find out the supplies youll need and then learn cold metalworking techniques, such as piercing, sawing, riveting, and finishing. To complement a variety of decor styles, the projects feature diverse types of metal, such as sterling silver, stainless steel, brass, copper, and aluminum. Some of the designs are enhanced with unusual accent materials, such as acrylic, wood, plastic laminate, and pearls. Your designs can add charm and distinction to your bedroom. Sparkling aluminum discs threaded onto a bolt and separated by nuts make fabulous drawer pulls. A scenic lampshade featuring frisky copper pups and brilliant brass moons riveted onto a cylinder of aluminum flashing will dress up any bedside table. Alongside your new lamp, place a dramatic stainless steel Nouveau-style picture frame that will give your prized photographs the importance they deserve.
