natenaaron Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Our local community college has no offerings for this stuff. I am limited to books and the public library is totally lacking, so I am hoping someone here could point me to a instructive book on Mokume. I am not looking for a Mokume guide for dummies type book. I can handle harder stuff. I want a good instructive book. Anybody know of one they want to suggest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Ask the library about the ILL or Inter Library Loan system. They can have many books in the greater library system sent to their local library for the cost of postage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Sells Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Already did. If the list we already provided isnt enough , then I am sorry, there isn’t any others we can recommend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teenylittlemetalguy Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I have purchased a great number of books and videos on the topic and find that the step from beginner to advanced is massive. I keep having to learn concepts well above my level of education in order to take the next step, but each step brings new joy and new questions. Welcome to the hamster wheel...

Steve Sells Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Inter library loans, I found Ferguson for $12 in a used book store. and no one can afford Midgett at $500 I saw other books listed MJ Hofbauer listed 4 that are still in print, but if you dont like those either I cant help you, there are not too many book still in print.

ThomasPowers Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I suggest ILL'ing all of them and then trying to buy the one(s) that do the best for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you have nd what do you suggest I begin with? thanks for your help I would have to say I really enjoyed Steve Midgett's book, but it can be wildly expensive. I ended up borrowing a copy from the college and copying the pages I needed. Ian Ferguson's book is great and exciting as it has some wild combinations but he is obviously well educated and had professional equipment to work with, he does a good job at telling you temps for solid state bonding though. If you have the basics down you will want to start wading into the advanced materials while practicing. IMHO it is the practice that is the most important.
