I've been looking up on the forum at all the discussions on getting a high shine on silver, (which i'm attempting to do, but still getting little scratches), and i saw that quite a few of you...

I'm not after a magic solution. I'd just like people to be polite. That's all :0)

Luckily, I have had a few people post private messages to me on how to do this. The reason for private messaging is so they don't get shouted down by the bullies! Sometimes the advice on here can be...

Wow. Pretty brutal response... OK!

It's been 25 years since i did this at college, and all my tools and books are in storage, so...
Can anyone point me in the direction of an already sharpened and handle-mounted tool to engrave a...

I used the slower setting Devcon and found it didn't set. I left it for 24 hours. Maybe there weren't exactly equal parts or I hadn't mixed it properly. I used it on bought sterling silver chain ends...

All great suggestions!! Dennis, I was advised to use Devcon but don't find it works on silver! I think I might make my chain ends out of tubing and use araldite...

Ah ok. Thanks Caroline. I thought the chain would be too delicate for rouge, and as it's snake chain, i thought the rouge would get stuck in the gaps...

Hi all, I'm pretty sure this is on the forum somewhere already, but i have trawled and trawled, and finally had to admit defeat.
After pickling, a fine sterling silver chain becomes quite dull....

And yes Joe, I would be really interested in your videos. That was really impressive.

I think I'm definitely going to look into designing for cad. And when I'm ready, I'll have a chat with you Peter.

About outsourcing, what's the best way to find a jewellery cad designer? And is there anyone on here that I could commission to produce some cad drawings?

Wow! That video is amazing and your computer skills are super impressive. I did not expect the answer to be cad. I think that counts me out then as it looks like you need quite a bit of training in...

A friend of mine bought a ring identical to this in Turkey and has asked me how it is made. I obviously have no idea, but i'd really like to research how this was done. Is it a wax model which is...

Yes, i just think there's a problem with this new model. I guess it happens to every manufacturer now and again. They have now replaced it with a better drill :0)

Thanks Bond - Super Moderator! I need to make a bigger hole!

Ah ok. That could be the problem then. I will try making the hole bigger first. Thanks so much :V:

I did. I already made the hole...

I recently bought 2 sizes of setting burrs. I've never used them before, as i'm new to setting stones.
For some reason, it just isn't drilling into the silver.
I am making a couple of pendants with...

Thanks Dennis. They're now replacing it with a superior model, but the micro rotary tool is on it's way out. Apparently a problem with that particular tool. They haven't told Cookson yet, as it's...

I bought the Dremel Micro motor 8050 from Cookson in December. So far it has stopped working twice, and finally gave up 2 weeks ago. I've since been trying to get a replacement, but Cookson told me...

Thank you so much Wallace. I really appreciate it.

Hi all, I've started making rings in wax, and have been using files so far, but i've seen a GREAT burr on a youtube video, and wondered if anyone knew what it was. It looks so easy to carve away the...

Sorry Mizgeorge, only just seen your response. I'm going to look up your recommendations now. Thanks
