Jewelry Manufacturing Methods and Techniques

Is there a reason why this is posted here?


It concerns metal working.
The name of the group is rec.crafts.metalworking, right?
The last time I made and polished a silver ring, it seemed like metal to me.

There are a number of people who read this group that make jewelry. One that
comes to mind is Abrasha (sorry if I spelled it wrong) who does some very fine
original design work.



I agree with you Bob, I'm a member at Ganoksin and have learned some
useful metal oriented things from their postings. I'm not a jewelry
person but appreciate the skills of other metalworkers.
If you object to jewelry postings next you'll be wanting to ban the
chastity belt repairers and the underbed implement makers. Lets
respect one another's arts and crafts and try to learn from all.
They had interesting postings on anvils recently.

Greetings,

Anyone who does miniature work, be it steam engines, model cannon, watch
work, anything small can learn quite a bit from the jewelry side of
things. Since getting involved with watch and clock repair I've learned
quite a few useful techniques for dealing with quite small parts that
apply to areas other than jewelry or timekeeping.

Cheers,
Stan
