[QUOTE="eddie1968, post: 1223821, member: 108082"] I just found this thread. I started learning to make basic jewelry last year. The cost of this hobby isn't cheap and good tools that do the proper job and last are a essential. First things I tried were making rings from old silver coins (pre 1947 coins as from 1947 onwards they are made from cupro-nickel). Took a lot of trial and error with a nylon hammer and a ring mandrel. I can also do basic silver soldering which is good for repairs and making pieces. Other things I do are get nice pebbles from the beach and cut and polish them with my Dremel power tool and hand finish. I also have diamond tipped engraving bits and want to get good at this so I can personalise pieces. This hobby is just for pleasure and makes unique gifts for friends and family and of course me and my house. Any other men on the thread ? :) [/QUOTE]
