Hi
I've lurked for a while since discovering Cooksons and thought I should probably register finally. I've been an artist/printmaker for about 14 years and wanted to fulfil a lifelong dream of doing some silversmithing. What really interests me is putting drawings onto metal and I'd like to try things like chasing and repousse, cloisonné and so on as a means to do this. I've been metalworking for a couple of months, self taught, and am trying to learn the basics so I don't try to run before I can walk. Before that my only experience with a saw since school has been occasionally trimming a cockerel's spurs. I'm currently leaving a huge number of broken saw blades in my wake!
I may pop on with a daft rookie question as there are many things you can't learn from YouTube and books alone and it seems like a nice friendly atmosphere here.
