MAKE: Technology on Your Time

Childrens Toy Shop > Magazines > Metal Work
from: O'Reilly Media


I have been a subscriber since their first issue and love this magazine and their website. It's a quarterly magazine, so you'll have enough time to finish a few projects before the next issue arrives.

I can't give it enough justice in this review. Visit their website [...] (or google for Make magazine). It gives a sample of what you'll find in the magazine and links to hundreds of other websites with amazing and fun projects to build. Or download one of their free weekly video podcast that includes a pdf for the project. The projects come straight from the magazine and it shows you how to make them.

Thanks to the magazine I made a small LED flashlight that runs on old batteries, a marshmallow gun made with PVC, and ... Read More:

CRAFT: Transforming Traditional Crafts

Childrens Toy Shop > Magazines > Metal Work
from: Oreilly Media % Heather Harmon


A lot of the reviewers here have mentioned problems with one cover story. Don't let that put you off this mag. It and its sister mag MAKE are great. They show a different look at the craft industry than you get when you look in chains like Michaels and Hobby Lobby. Craft and diy are huge and it's not all about scrapbooking and decorative painting. There are heaps of indi crafters doing great things and who, until now, have been largely hidden from mainstream consumers. CRAFT gives these people a platform to showcase their stuff - and it is great - the only pity of it is that in publicising these new takes on old crafts indi is now becoming mainstream! Go figure. Do yourself a favor and check out the magazine - there is plenty to look at and to enjoy. ... Read More:

Art Jewelry

This mag is absolutely fab! Being a little bit wiley these days with my funds, (student) I cannot afford to subscribe to all the magazines that I like. This is the only one that I have GOT to have every time! It is a very good publication because it covers a wide variety of topics without scrimping on any info. A lot of magazines are beading mags, and only really cover beading. There are also metalsmith mags, that only really cover metalsmithing. This one manages to cover things like beginner metalsmithing, PMC, polymerclay and other interesting techniques. It is great for expanding your knowlege on things you may not have considered using in your jewellery making endeavors.... I reccommend this issue very very highly for people who like to get an unusual flair to thier ... Read More:

Jewelry Artist

Childrens Toy Shop > Magazines > Metal Work
from: Interweave Press


Every amateur jeweler (and lots of pros) should read this magazine. Each month, it offers a wide range of how-to articles aimed at different skill levels, including complete projects. The gallery section might really get your creative juices flowing, though. When I see so many fine pieces in so many materials and styles, it really makes me want to drop the magazine and get back to the bench. And, of course, the ads offer crafters many sources of tools, metal, gems, books, and other necessities.
