The silver I want to use isn’t hallmarked and I think this is why I can’t find any examples of my idea anywhere.

This is so annoying if you can’t mix old and new items together to make new pieces...

So this has been a slow burner for me. I have been wanting to make jewellery for a few years and as I work another job, while getting set up, 2020 is going to be the year. I’m totally self taught and...

I did think about a fire blanket as they are great for smothering a fire in the first grip of the fire!!! think I’ll get one too, not seen or heard of the water mist one, one to look up, thanks guys!...

I’m set up in a shed in my garden which is wood and we are playing with fire [emoji91] which fire extinguishers do you guys have on hand? I’m so out of touch with fire training, Wood is Class A but...

I used the one your talking about at an evening class my rings came up lovely, they are still looking great now. Funnily I’ve just ordered one, been looking out for a cheap one and I finally found...

Oh that’s a lovely building, [emoji7][emoji7] it’s reassuring to know we pretty much all start off the same, in our little corners of the country. I was using an old painted bureau in my dining room...

Damp is a real problem here in Cornwall, we have very wet winters and I have a very wet clay garden, I will probably keep my shed cold and drafty to stop the damp, I’d rather put up with the cold...

Awesome, funny I nearly went for a corner shed/summerhouse too. But I was restricted to 8 by 8 so I found a ‘potting shed’ with windows down one side, it’s super light inside, and I’m painting it...

Thanks so much, I will look through those threads, I’m going to build a bench along 2 walls I might use a desk I have too if it will fit, with my measurements. My idea is very similar to what other...

So I have bought a lovely shed after much searching and found the perfect 8 by 8 shed with windows down one side for my new hobby to begin making jewellery. It’s up!!! I know how I want it to look...

Great thanks for the tip, [emoji106]

I have just soldered a bezel that I made on to the ring, I used med hard solder. The solder bubbled up as if to disperse as normal but didn’t, I didn’t want to melt my bezel, (fine silver) so only...

Great thanks, yes ambient light isn’t great, as no window only a door opening, this is only a temporary solution, I have a plan for a more permanent solution which involves me moving into the garden...

Hi all, my work bench is positioned in the darkest part of my small cottage in an old fireplace inglenook with an over hang so I need to add some artificial light. I’ve been looking at Led lights....

Thanks, guys, I’m going shopping tomorrow to see what I can find! [emoji3]

I’ve been reading through the threads for safety pickle using a slow cooker or a coffee maker. I was going to buy a cheap slow cooker but as they are slow to heat up I’m quite interested in the...

Bangles! My friend is a proper jeweller not like me lol I'm teaching myself! He has a shop and everything! He said smaller gas torches might struggle to heat a bangle, I do eventually want to do them...

Thank you sally, I've been looking at that one, what's the biggest piece you use it on?

Many thanks
