The Practical Gold-Worker is a comprehensive handbook designed for goldsmiths and jewellers, containing information on alloying, melting, reducing, colouring, collecting, refining, and much more. Clearly written and beginner-friendly, this volume is ideal for students and apprentices. Contents include: Gold; Its History and Sources of Supply, Properties of Gold, Various Qualities and Alloys of Gold, Melting and Rolling, Coining, Manufactured Articles - Locket-Making, Solid Wire-Drawing, Manufacturing Processes - Gold-plating, Engineering and Chasing - Engraving, Solders and Soldering - Hand Solder, etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive.
