No. Like most ancillary bits I make them myself! That’s why I usually have mk1 mk2 and often mk3! The holder was made from 25mm x 2mm strap steel from Wicks. If you want/ need the design, just ask.

Amazing how what I thought of as a simple question elicits so many answers. This forum is nothing short of brilliant! Thank you all. The earrings in question have been repaired, cleaned and polished...

Yes so right.

I think a typo, China. You meant Propane etc heavier than air. Yes there are holes but on the other side. You are so right. I have seen boats with their decks blow off as the butane collects in the...

Hi Hedgewick. I am also a relative newbie! I made myself a box lined with “asbestolux” or modern equivalent in which to solder. It also is the box in which I can store / keep my pickle bits and...

Well have made my choice and posted my request to Santa....thanks as always for your advices.

Yet again, more advice please from you experienced knowledgable people!
As I am making more and more pieces, some parts very small, I need better magnification than the rather crude set up I have at...

I like the idea of a box clasp, but have only seen the one on Cooksongold that I have had problems with. Can you direct me to other suppliers please?

I am afraid I have posted my question in the wrong place! .....
To reiterate: bracelet clasp failing Cooksongold NVF055C. So adjusted bracelet to be a “sneeze” fit onto the wrist. I would prefer ,...

Good evening. I made this bracelet for my wife mounting the bases of rifle rounds which I had cut from the cases using a lathe onto discs of silver, then joining them using jump rings. I bought a...

Yes the twisting has worked well. Thanks to all.

Yet more advice sought of you experienced people please. Would it be safe to use an ultrasonic bath to clean amber earrings that are encased in silver.

Thanks for the “twisting”advice.

Having soldered a “broach pin” with rotary safety onto a piece of silver I now find quite obviously the pin is annealed and totally bendy. How can I retemper this please?

Thanks. Best not to be forgetful. Another item to add to the check list!.....phone, flies done up (for males mainly), car keys, wallet with credit cards and money in it, etc. The list gets longer the...

Will any damage be wrought by leaving (by mistake of course!) pieces in the pickle for an hour or so. Got about 2 miles down the road and the old grey matter prodded me casting doubt if I had taken...

As always, super quick practical responses. Thank you all for your help and advice. Perhaps one day I will be able to do the same.......!

Help! I have been asked to replace 2 lost 1.3 mm zircons on a very pretty piece of costume jewellery. They appear to be “glued” into shallow depressions. What adhesive should be used please?
