19.01.2022 pics of current 'work in progress'. This stone was cut by, and belongs to, a member of the Gem Club. It is a beautiful parti-colour Sapphire. He asked me to set it for him. I certainly hope he is happy with the job. UPDATE: - he is happy with my work. Another of the Gem Club members asked me if I had bought the setting. Woohoo, a compliment methinks!

13.01.2022 my first attempt at a forged hollow ring, I should have started with a more symmetrical stone, but then that wouldn't be me there are a lot of mistakes, but I'm happy with this first!

12.01.2022 some people are so very clever - look at this articulated critter fabricated by Kate Case https://www.facebook.com/katecase/posts/10156394773248193?__tn__=K-R

11.01.2022 my current work in progress for a customer, stone faceted by a fellow club member - I've still got to solder claws and then do another clean up, tumble the ring and set the stone

09.01.2022 there's one facet that just won't meet

07.01.2022 I had to adapt the setting. When I soldered the 2 bezels together, I thought I did a great job when I saw that they had joined all the way to the top! What I didn't realise was that there was no room to let me fold over the edge to hold the stones in place. I did talk to the customer and gave her a solution to my mistake and she gave me permission to adapt the design. I hope she is happy with the finished product.

06.01.2022 Place a strip of fiberglass-reinforced packing tape on the back side of your emery paper. Then cut the paper into small strips. The fiberglass threads in the pa...cking tape will reinforce the paper and keep it from tearing while used. You can then feed a small strip through openings in your jewelry and strum the abrasive paper back and forth to reach otherwise inaccessible areas. In addition, a small strip can be twisted to made an abrasive cord for strumming Fold a strip of emery paper in half with the fiberglass- reinforced tape inside. The strip can then be placed in an extra saw frame. For more Bench Tips go to: http://benchmagazine.com/benchtips See more
