Most jewellers are not engineers, but have been trained at the bench or at college. They have learned that metals can be hardened by bending,...

Hello Arnett, what is it you do?

If you are a complete novice to jewellery making then Argentium is probably not the best material to start with as it has its own quite tricky and...

It would have been wise to practise before wouldn't it?!! Not my style though sadly, I'm still not that wise. Thanks for the advice though guys,...

Much straightforward sterling silver is recycled anyway. It just happens without fuss.

Argentium is registered with RJC and Cookson have both products you require.

I confess to loving my Parker Lady pens. They have lovely gold nibs and fit my tiny hand perfectly. However, their small size means twice as much...

Well, I've had a look around, and it seems there are none in UK, at least. Cookson has ecosilver bullion, so you can make your own, which is super...

thanks theresa :) what size of small stones? at the moment i'm using 2.5-3mm one's mostly

I've used joint tubing for really small stones and it works very well.

I know this thread was a while ago but did Paul ever find some 0.8mm-1.00mm tubing? Also can you use jointing tubing for tube setting? i recently did...

Caroline - that looks very much like a Parker 50 Falcon in the TX brown - these are very much sought after now as they had a fairly limited...

I haven't been at the bench since last July since getting covid and developing long covid. Do you miss it? I hope you're ok. I usually hate...

Sorry to hijack Geoffrey’s post but wanted to show off what has turned out to be a stylish Parker pen of the 70s. I have another not so stylish...

Editing is not magic even with so called reality shows ( which there is no such thing) you just Film/video/capture as many takes as you need then...

Yes Bob only this time it’s jewellers. We have sewing, pottery and of course lots of baking and cooking. I believe that the first project was to...

Ok let me in on the secret is "All that Glitters" some type of reality show

Thanks George, I’ll have a look for them

I don’t know Kathryn but how do they edit. I know that the pottery people say it’s impossible to produce some of the tasks they put forward in that...

Hi Geoffrey, I've seen your name over on FPN - I'm also a pen person - mainly repair and restoration, and a bit of collecting, and writing of course!...

How true although some clever bod invented the cartridge, the one I carry out and about has a cartridge not for the purest, although is is easy to...

The fountain pen began to fall out of favour, with the invention of the Biro in the mid 1940s. A really ugly ball pen, which cost £2: quite a lot of...

You think they might have had more than 3 hours for the bangles? Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

Mine won’t be quite vintage or maybe it is but not as vintage as the couple I have somewhere that have perished innards. I wouldn’t imagine it’s...

One of the participants on a fb forum said she hadn’t seen the edit so you have to wonder. It’s like ceramicists say that the pottery show gives a...

I haven't been on here for ages but came to see what you all thought. It was nice living vicariously through others making but I was horrified by...
