The items covered in this one are: Going to the dogs Forging a dog Different dog Uglie tooling Uglies, faces only a mother would love Uglie hats Uglie critters Tapered winder Wound candle holder Fly press and tooling Copper handle knife Some fly press deco work ******************************************************************************** MY STANDARD DISCLAIMER EXPLAINED: I have been asked by an emailer, What is my standard disclaimer it is as follows: I purchase all the books that I review, I only review books that I might find of interest. I will tell you if a book sucs or isn't worth it. I don't accept freebies or what are called readers in the business. If I give an book dealer/store information. It is because I have used them before and had great service. And if it is the only available source, I will tell you that also. My reasons for the above are simple. I'm note beholding to anybody, author, dealer or publisher. I can and do say what needs to be said about the books. This does present some problems, as I have few if any stinkers in all these reviews. And those are mostly mail order sight on seen and purchased by only the description in the sales info. Which can be a real load of B.S. glen |
