Hey guys, this site is the greatest. I've worked with metal for years but resently started focusing on the artistic side. Can anyone suggest a book or other source of info concerning the terminology you guys use in describing different techniques you use.(patina, chasing, raseing, etc.) Any advice is greatly appreaciated.

Check out the listings of the favorite books we have here at ArtMetal. The Oppi book is listed and if you follow the links to Amazon.com and actually buy a book, ArtMetal will be appreciative because we get a tiny commission for referring you to amazon.

BTW, welcome to ArtMetal. Hope you will get lots of ideas and knowledge from the folks here.
