    Are you an experienced jeweller, or a beginner?

    Ah well, you won't want any advice from me then. You probably know that the suppliers' showrooms have free notice boards, where it's worth putting up cards. Dennis.

    Dennis is kind of spoilt living in London, the rest of us in the sticks don't have that opportunity. I haven't been to a supplier since I started in 1979/80 and as Dennis and I have discussed they no longer exist! Coopers, Blundells, Johnson Matthey.
    I'm sure someone has mentioned a link to tools sales in the past, maybe it was James. There is a page on FB but I think you have to be a member of GoJD which is worth it as you get supplier discounts which can be good for tool buying

    By the way Dennis, my comment wasnt meant to come across snotty, was answering your question and what my plans were.
    Sorry if you thought that.

    CJ - With me living in Newcastle its hard to get the time to go down to birmingham and london.
    I'll look in to that page. Thanks

    Never thought that 18, but you might be able to phone them and post them your advert. My main concern was that your post would remain unanswered, even though I'm not ready to sell up (yet). regards, Dennis.

    I know exactly what you meant, living in Fife Scotland we aren't exactly within easy reach of all those wonderful Jewellery quarters but on the plus side we are not tempted to spend huge amounts on tools

    I have a Durston 80mm mini mill up for grabs. Was hoping for £360 plus postage, purchased from Cookson a few years back. Got a larger one when I sorted out my studio . Currently £558 from Cookson at the moment
