Enjoy having him which I'm sure you will.

Hi John,
Welcome to the forum.
You might approach it as jewellery for elephants..only smaller!
Good luck with it all.

That's a lovely piece of agate Jo and that's going to be a pretty big setting too!

You might consider separating the mucky work from the cleaner work. Put the polishing and soldering work in the outside loo and find a smaller space for bench work in the house?

Right Junior question here.
Do we have to vote on this or does it become law and we just get on with it?
Love the idea.
Nick.
Well done Sharon, it's a fiddly business.
Well it is going to be easier next time, if only because you know, before you start that you can do it!

Hello Anton and welcome.
You must have a really good background to help you here. I'm very envious of your access to lost wax casting.
Nick.
What a fabulous piece of work, lovely colours.

Hi Fiona,
That looks like a really comfortable workshop, lots of natural light. I always envy people who have nice big windows in their workshops, I try to compensate by having 4 lamps but it's...
Wow, well I scuttled off to read the rules after reading that!
AND I've posted a live link before getting to 15 posts, Oh God oh God is this the end of my time on the board and I've only just...
I vaguely remember a communication from Cooksons saying that they were phasing out Argentium. Of couse I shall be shot down in flames if I'm wrong but I do recall something earlier this year....

I find when I try to set stones, especially facetted stones, that I have to spend a great deal of time getting the bearer and the height of the bezel right and always takes longer than I...
Hi Nic,
I've never tried grinding stoats or pmc for that matter so I'm really not sure if this process is suitable. There are very fine grit belts and it works well for fine, sterling, britannia,...
Thank you Nic, I love all these positive comments.
The belt sander looking thing, is a linisher, a most unjewellery like piece of equipment I know! I have arranged for it to rotate with the top of...
Hi Bigwol,
Which technique is it that you use the lump hammer for exactly ?!
Well I spend some time in this small room. I love collecting bits and pieces for the workshop. It's getting so I bang my elbows and knees each time I move. I like this idea of workshop pictures it's...
