The book gives detailed clear directions, including amount of materials needed, process of cutting and fusing links, assembly, and finishing. Illustrations are useful and clear. I have used this book for several projects. It has been most helpful.
Photographs of the chains are enlarged to show detail. Directions for clasps are separate in a chapter close to end of the book, but are not always referenced in the directions for the chains themselves.
