Are you an experienced jeweller, or a beginner?
I am an experienced jeweller. Been doing the job for 15 years but setting a bench up at homeQuote:

Ah well, you won't want any advice from me then. You probably know that the suppliers' showrooms have free notice boards, where it's worth putting up cards. Dennis.
Always after advice off anyone. Never been to any of the suppliers before.Quote:

I'm sure someone has mentioned a link to tools sales in the past, maybe it was James. There is a page on FB but I think you have to be a member of GoJD which is worth it as you get supplier discounts which can be good for tool buying
By the way Dennis, my comment wasnt meant to come across snotty, was answering your question and what my plans were.
Sorry if you thought that.
CJ - With me living in Newcastle its hard to get the time to go down to birmingham and london.
I'll look in to that page. Thanks

Never thought that 18, but you might be able to phone them and post them your advert. My main concern was that your post would remain unanswered, even though I'm not ready to sell up (yet). regards, Dennis.
Not that spoiled, Caroline. We're dying of pollution down here, whereas you can escape to the highlands. Dennis.Quote:

£360 is actually a very fair price mate! How i wish this had been a year ago!Quote:

To give you an idea-
Texturing hammer
Dremel 3000
Steel triblet
Doming punches
Steel doming block
Disc cutter (round)
Bow drill
Archimedean drill
plus a Prometheus Mini Kiln Pro 1 with timer if you use metal clays/ glass.
Let me know if these are of interest to anyone. Thanks.
