I was hoping for some pointers or where to obtain tools such as dop sticks. The book was interesting but not as informative as I had hoped. It was a good buy though. Some of the info was too "clinical" and not really what I would expect from a Handbook. When I write a handbook it contains step by step instructions for anyone to pick it up and not be confused.
Informative, you need to be advanced in your craft in order to use this book.
This is a (sadly) a fairly unique state of affairs for books relating to crafts and hobbies. Some excellent hints at the end, together with handy tables.
If you have the Vargas book(s) then this will make your collection complete. So much packed into such a small volume.
This was the first faceting book I obtained, even before owning a faceting machine. He covers all the aspects of faceting that a beginner needs to know from materials & tools to dopping techniques, and from a standard brilliant cut (extremely detailed instructions) to more difficult cuts.
Don't start faceting without it. From the moment I started reading I understood.
Edward Soukup assumes no prior knowledge and explains everything in simple, down-to-earth terminology.
