Yes that’s what I do with scrap. Cut as many out as possible, texture some , drill a 1.5mm hole towards the edge, dome...

Yes, quite something. Near me there used to be a pub with a large water tank outside in the garden. A piece of chain led from a post into the water. Notice said...don’t tease the water...

Different thicknesses, different diameters.....I would be bound not to have the ready cut disc when I wanted it.......then to wait a minimum of 2 days before you can get what you want. David

Were you able to see the product when I sent you the second reply? No obvious url .....

Thanks for all your advices. The choice of equipment is very broad.

Dennis. When you say a white cube are you alluding to a light box of 40x40 cms to be large enough with external 3 lights as...

As ever.....questions! I want to take some better quality photos of my “creations”! I have a good DSLR camera and quite a bit of success in general photography. However so far I have been...

Ah but the domed pieces are only 13 to 16 mm in diameter and the hammered finish is on the con cavity. I also found that when I attempted this the doming tended to become deformed.

Andrew Berry I think has a talk on sharpening the punches.
I have one like yours and found difficulties in cutting neatly so after some looking about I bought a clamping one. I found it on eBay at...

Thank you both. This could be “the answer to the maidens prayer”! One item I like to make includes a hammer finished domed roundell of silver. I have to be so careful not to be too strong when doming...

Ah, memories .......of course I remember that a silver spoon used for eating a boiled egg always tarnished. It was my job as a child to polish them up. Should have remembered that!

Did that with a number of other pieces....no go! Collect only. Maybe they take pity on those that live in the wilds!

Hmmm. How long do you have to leave it egged please?

Well unfortunately Platinol has to be collected from London or Birmingham as it is a “Dangerous” product whereas Liver of Sulphur is only “Hazardous” and can be posted. I will therefore be under...

Thanks. I have now connected with U tube and will for the sake of harmony in the house try platinol which I gather isn’t so smelly!

I am sure I have read about this somewhere but as ever I can’t find it! By chance after intentionally creating a hammered effect on an item I polished it and noticed that on one portion there was...

But is this on an iPad? Presentations seem to be different on different units

I have tied to message a member.....you know who you are! And all I get is that the persons inbox is full and my message can’t be delivered until they clear it. 1. How do you know when it is full...

I think my friends were in fact making a personal comment as two in particular know my set up with horology and jewellery.

Thanks all. Space is at a premium in my house clock/jewellery/office, and I have a thumping great pillar drill in the garage workshop so I recon the dye is cast!

Again thanks for your info. Even after giggling the bit around repeatedly it still wobbles. Either the drive is worn or the universal bit is worn.

Thanks so much for your advice. My woodworking vertical bench drill 5mm to 35 plus mm would be just “a little bit over the top”! I will look into the Proton unit.
