• 13:2513:25, 22 April 2026 Soldering in Germany (hist | edit) [3,781 bytes] Deutsch-craft (talk | contribs) (Created page with "'''Soldering in Germany''' refers to the technique of joining metal components by melting a filler metal (solder) with a lower melting point than the base materials. Within silversmithing, soldering is an essential process that enables the assembly of complex objects from multiple parts. It has been widely practiced in the German lands as a fundamental method of construction in metalworking.<ref>Untracht, Oppi. ''Metal Techniques for Craftsmen''. New York: Doubleday, 196...")
• 13:2313:23, 22 April 2026 Engraving in Germany (hist | edit) [3,748 bytes] Deutsch-craft (talk | contribs) (Created page with "'''Engraving in Germany''' refers to the technique of incising lines into a metal surface using specialized tools to create decorative patterns, inscriptions, or images. As a subtractive process, engraving differs from techniques such as chasing and repoussé, which shape the surface through deformation. Engraving has long been an integral component of silversmithing and related metalworking traditions in the German lands.<ref>Untracht, Oppi. ''Metal Techniques for Craft...")
• 13:2113:21, 22 April 2026 Chasing and Repoussé in Germany (hist | edit) [4,038 bytes] Deutsch-craft (talk | contribs) (Created page with "'''Chasing and repoussé in Germany''' refer to complementary silversmithing techniques used to create relief decoration on metal surfaces. Repoussé involves shaping the metal from the reverse side to raise a design in relief, while chasing refines and defines the design from the front through controlled hammering. Together, these techniques have played a significant role in the decorative metalwork traditions of the German lands.<ref>Untracht, Oppi. ''Metal Techniques...")
• 13:1913:19, 22 April 2026 Sinking in Germany (hist | edit) [3,826 bytes] Deutsch-craft (talk | contribs) (Created page with "'''Sinking in Germany''' refers to the silversmithing technique of forming a hollow metal object by hammering a sheet into a concave support, such as a depression, mold, or sandbag. Unlike raising, which compresses and thickens the material, sinking stretches the metal to create volume. The technique has been widely used in the German lands as a fundamental method for shaping vessels and other hollow forms.<ref>Untracht, Oppi. ''Metal Techniques for Craftsmen''. New York...")
• 13:1713:17, 22 April 2026 Raising in Germany (hist | edit) [3,992 bytes] Deutsch-craft (talk | contribs) (Created page with "'''Raising in Germany''' refers to the silversmithing technique of forming a hollow metal object, such as a vessel, from a flat sheet through controlled hammering. By progressively shaping the material over a stake or anvil, the metal is compressed and directed upward, allowing the creation of seamless three-dimensional forms. Raising is considered one of the fundamental techniques of silversmithing and has been practiced in the German lands for centuries.<ref>Untracht,...")
• 13:1113:11, 22 April 2026 Pattern Welding in Germany (hist | edit) [4,365 bytes] Deutsch-craft (talk | contribs) (Created page with "'''Pattern welding in Germany''' refers to the forging technique of combining multiple layers of iron and steel through forge welding to produce a composite material with distinctive surface patterns and enhanced mechanical properties. Historically associated with early European blade-making traditions, pattern welding represents an advanced form of blacksmithing practiced in the German lands from the early medieval period onward.<ref>Williams, Alan.

• 13:0913:09, 22 April 2026 Farriery in Germany (hist | edit) [3,949 bytes] Deutsch-craft (talk | contribs) (Created page with "'''Farriery in Germany''' refers to the specialized craft of forging, fitting, and maintaining horseshoes, as well as the care of equine hooves. As a distinct branch of blacksmithing, farriery combines metalworking skills with knowledge of animal anatomy and biomechanics. Historically, it played a crucial role in transport, agriculture, and military contexts across the German territories.<ref>Russell, William. ''The Farrier's Guide''. London: J.
