Thanks Dennis - I think I'll give it a go as it seems to be a popular option.

Hi Peter,
Thank for the response - although it did freak me out a little. I couldn't work out how you knew BANES was my local council - then I realised that your location is in the right-hand...

Hello all!

A question around the fun topic of pickle.. what pickle do people use and how do you dispose of it?

I currently use Picklean which is good as it can be put down a normal drain....

Thanks Dennis - I'm going to give it a go!

Coca Cola? Really?? Guess I don't know want to know what it will do to my insides if it can get rid of rust! I'm more likely to go down the route of buying some stainless steel shot!

Haha! Yep now that's what I'm picturing!

I didn't want to use it in case it ruined my work - at the time, I was up against it with a deadline so couldn't face maybe ruining the work!

Hi,

So it turns out I was a little forgetful at the weekend and forgot to put any water in my barrel polisher after I had emptied it 😩 So now some of the shot has rusted - is there any way to save...

Hi Dennis
Just thought I'd let you know that the cufflinks were successful! Not quite finished but this is the end result - feeling quite pleased and no air holes required!

Thanks for the help...

Hi Dennis

Thanks for getting to me. I did have a random thought this morning - if soldering the top is the last activity then in theory I could get away with out the holes? I can solder the bezel...

Hi!

I'm making a pair of cufflinks which are circular hollow form shapes - I understand that I have to add an air hole to one side but how big should this hole be (the form will be just over 1cm...

Hi Dennis,

I may try acrylic in the future - will need to investigate colour choices first!

Thanks,
Beth

Hi china,

I already am colouring the resin but only quite lightly and with transparent pigment. I'm going to continue as-is for the time being as I've spoken to a couple of people this week and...

Hi,
I've just started to use transparent coloured resin in my jewellery and created a necklace with resin inset within a sterling silver bezel (which includes a solid base). However its been...

Thanks for that - I will give it a go and will see how it goes. I do have a square steel block so that may be useful for checking angles.

I will let you know how I get on.

Thanks again
Beth

Hi
I want to make a square pendant in square wire and I'm a bit stuck about where to start. Should I cut four sections with each end with a 45 degree angle and solder them together or have two...

Hi,

I haven't been on here for ages as I got a little bit addicted to Pinterest and didn't really post anywhere else!

But at the moment I'm really in a jewellery making mode - I've been going...

That's great - thanks.

I would some a little prettier (I'm just being vain!) but think I may have to go for practical instead!

Good evening,

This is a bit of wierd question and I don't know if I'm posting it in the right place but does anyone know where I can a decently size storage bag to store all my tools in? I want a...

I've finally somewhere and am enrolled at the Birmingham School of Jewellery to do a stone setting course in July - can't wait! Thank you for the suggestion x

Thanks for all the nice comments!

It's make a nice jingle-y sound - I spent most of today shaking my wrist around!

I've never been brave enough to post any pictures on here before but I've just finished this bangle (and am quite proud of it) and wanted to see what people thought! It's taken a long time as I...

I've contacted the Mid-Cornwall School of Jewellery and they only run one stone-setting course a year and it is fully booked for this year!

I'm thinking at looking in the London direction as there...

Hi,

I'm looking to do a course on stone-setting - has anyone got any recommendations especially in the South-west?

Thank you!

Cool - thank you!
