    Oh I will! I have so many things I'm incapable of carving that are on my list to get done - just need to find time to sit and do some drawing.

    Wow! That video is amazing and your computer skills are super impressive. I did not expect the answer to be cad. I think that counts me out then as it looks like you need quite a bit of training in that.

    About outsourcing, what's the best way to find a jewellery cad designer? And is there anyone on here that I could commission to produce some cad drawings?

    I'm assuming Joe would take stuff on as well?

    I think I'm definitely going to look into designing for cad. And when I'm ready, I'll have a chat with you Peter.

    And yes Joe, I would be really interested in your videos. That was really impressive.

    Yes, make or buy a number of collets, solder a length of wire of your choice to each, arrange them in the flat to solder into a secure mesh. I would use triangular wire.

    Then make this strip into a slightly undersized ring and stretch it on a ring stretcher. This will size it, round it and harden it. Dennis.
