Good result! I'm pleased you got it all to work in the end :)

Oh well done Maria - I think I might have ducked this one (after a bad experience with something similar!)

I wonder if the little rings used on orthodontic braces might work? I've used these successfully as spacers for something similar in the past.

This kind of thing -...

And I can only echo the same sentiments - stay safe everyone and let's hope next year will be a better one.

I can tell the difference, and these are in piercings that are forty years old. I'm told that there is a difference depending on how the original piercing was done and where, but I cannot wear...

Now that shows that you don't wear earrings Dennis. The moment you have a heavily forged area on the wire like that, you risk it travelling up into the piercing, where it cuts and irritates. Horrid....

I like the top right as well - it looks very comfortable - but I'd probably most like to wear the bottom left one, which is the perfect pinky ring IMO - unobtrusive, won't bang into things and just a...

Gold filled is heat/pressure bonded - not something you can do at home. I would be extremely sceptical about anyone who says they can solder gold filled - the gold WILL burn off long before you reach...

I don't know if it's any help, but I'm very seriously considering selling my (very genuine) SR, as well as a couple of extra handpieces and a hammer handpiece. I don't think I use it enough to...

That's so sweet - and what a nice thing to do. I'm sure your wife's delighted at having such a classy container for her meds! Well done on the hinging - it's not easy and your end result looks great....

I've used it for a long time - saves queuing in the horrible PO (which is now in our useless WHS rather than being a proper one) and mean I don't have to worry about always having the right sorts of...

Oh Dennis, thank you - what a lovely cheering sight (and story) on a very gloomy day. I love that the crests give them so much more expression than they would have without :)

I loved watching this being made - and the end result is just delicious. You should be feeling very smug indeed :)

I don't have this particular model, but I've been using magnetic polishers for years, and had the same problem to start with. Then I realised that the supplied pins were far to big and aggressive, so...

He's just gorgeous! He reminds me very much of some animal brooches my lovely great aunt had, which she'd had made for her in the 30's - she had one to represent each new country she visited - and...

Welcome Gill,
I've gone to Betts (the tool bit was formerly Suttons) for Pepe stuff in the past - I have a few of their tools and have found them to consistently good. They don't carry all stock,...

I have a couple of jump ring makers (though not the pepe one above which is far too complicated IMO), and I still end up cutting by hand nine times out of ten - and I cut hundreds, sometimes...

I love your triangular wire designs Dennis - makes me hanker after a drawbench all the more!

I don't know if it's any help, but I've only ever been able to find red 18ct in medium (in panels anyway - I don't think I've ever seen red in wire) - I have a little stash of most grades of solder,...

Oh Dennis - they are both fabulous - I also especially love the acrylic version - you've managed to convey so much expression, especially with the very clever shaping around the eyes.

I never...

I'm curious, what sort of earrings?

I do it all the time. It's a particularly useful trick if you're needing to set a largish flat bezel base and want a flat, rather than curved surface to maximise contact.

Dennis that listing's pretty hard to read, but the two together comes to over £275. Not much of a bargain given that the two sold on the main site come to just over £240. I realise there are selling...

Are you just wanting it to be refined, or is this to sell?

If it's the latter it can also depend on the weight you're talking about - if it's less than a kg, some companies either won't take it,...

They look fabulous though Peter - I know a lot of people who'd be happy to have one!
