Making a Natural Trumpet: an Illustrated Workshop Guide by Richard Seraphinoff, Raymond Parks, and Robert Barclay

Book description
This book illustrates each stage in the manufacture of a natural trumpet, starting from flat brass sheet and following as closely as possible the methods, materials and tools of 17th and 18th century craftsmen; the metalworkers of Nürnberg, who worked with a basic technology that relied for its speed and efficiency on hand skill. Using their simple tools and techniques anybody can make a trumpet very much as they did. The text is profusely illustrated with colour photographs taken at one of the trumpet-making workshops which have been successfully run by Bob Barclay and Rick Seraphinoff over several years. Participants have included players, makers and repairers of modern instruments, historians and collectors. All have left with a real appreciation of the craft of the baroque trumpet maker, and have produced their own playable instrument, a copy of a trumpet made by Hanns Hainlein in Nürnberg in 1632. The descriptions cover the processes by which tubes are seamed and joined, bells are hammered to shape and then burnished on a mandrel, bows are filled with molten metal and bent, and decorations are engraved and punched.

The Contemporary Blacksmith by Dona Z. Meilach (Author), Daryl Meier (Introduction), Stephen Bondi (Contributor)

Book description
This important new book tackles the burgeoning revival of the blacksmith's art. Author Dona Meilach has brought together over 500 works by nearly 200 artist-craftsmen from sixteen countries to illustrate the unprecedented activity in modern ironwork that has led to its blossoming into a serious art form. You'll learn several techniques using hot and cold forming with the results clearly shown. You'll be able to recognize how a fence, railing, grille, table, chair, knife, and other items evolve, and better appreciate their design and workmanship. Each chapter provides background for the type of objects shown-- architectural ironwork, sculpture, furniture, containers and vessels, lighting fixtures and candleholders, fireplace accessories, wind vanes, household and liturgical items, and the incredible knives made of Damascus steel. You'll find ample information for how and where to begin your own study in this extensive resource list of organizations, Internet sources, publications, museums, and educational opportunities. The Contemporary Blacksmith** undoubtedly should be found in the libraries of every metalworker, art educator, architect, interior designer, ironwares collector, and crafts person.
