Catalog recyclers beware! END OF THREAD by Peter W. Rowe
Hi folks. This thread started as an only barely on topic message, with only slight relevance to this group. It's devolving into a discussion on personal finance and credit card debt. I've let it go, since the thread started out OK, and normal usenet practice says a reply to an allowable post is...

I need white by Michael
What material can be used for white? First choice would be ivory, but I'm not sure that it is available anymore (isn't selling ivory banned worldwide?) I'd love a substance that looks waxy in texture, is fairly hard, can be carved/engraved / milled into a flat block about 1/ inch square. It...

Real Masters? by [email protected]
If you want to find real masters of their trade, and who probably wouldn't consider themselves as such, try the Etruscans around 650BC. There are examples of their gold filigree work in the British Museum, for example, that nobody appears able to make today. This superb work was done without the...

High precision scale or balance? by Jonathan Sachs
I hope this is an appropriate place to ask for advice on selecting a milligram scale or balance. It is not for jewelry, but I can't think of any other likely forums except the ones where dabblers in controlled substances hang out. My cats receive several medications that must be prepared (not...

Soldering mini silver or gold barbell beads by m10b
Hi, Lately I've seen many necklaces made from fine silver chain with what looks like mini silver or gold barbells inserted between the links of the chain. I assume from looking at them that they are made by soldering a headpin, say on some silver wire, inserting the wire between the small links on...

How to confirm that titanium is genuine... by BD
Hey, all. I just bought a watch which purports to be made of titanium. It all looks legit, it's a Seiko, it has a serial number and a certificate with it - but this purchase was made via EBay, and I want to be *sure*... It certainly is lightweight. But how else can I establish for certain that...

Platinum & Titanium by Wooding
I don't have much experience with platinum, but I have made a few things. Because of the high temperatures involved, up till now I've managed to solder components by relying on gravity to hold them in position, but now I've got a commission that needs something more. I figured that reverse action...

Soldering Jump Rings by Raane
Well, the gas tanks have finally arrived and the "studio" (read "previously dining room,") is set up, although still missing any type of bench grinder or rolling mill (and likely a few other things that I don't even know, yet, that I will need). While I was waiting for equipment and tools to...

Rare/Unusual Metals by Mike Crowe
I'm not a jeweller at all, but hope someone on here might be able to help me out with something. I'd really quite like a ring made from an unusual metal, but how would I go about finding a jeweller that does that? And what metals would be possible? I know a bit about the properties of some of the...

Dear group, I can't find anything though Google. My best friend handed me her plaited bracelet which had an odd kink in it. In a moment of madness I set to "repair" it but ended up with two halves and a few spare links. Can anyone please point me to a diagram somewhere explaining how to plait

Flux by Kendall Davies
Does anyone have experience of Auflux, Borax, Bakers Fluid, Easyflo Flux Powder, and/or Fluxite? I've used a borax cone and it's worked quite well but I have a feeling that other fluxes may have advantages of which I am not aware. Any information on these or others available in the UK will be very...

I want y'all's opinion by Frosty
I got an inquiry from a guy in another country who wanted me to make a silver ring for him. He said he wanted me to copy a gold one (that I assumed he already had.) He snail-mailed me a photo cut from a magazine. I emailed him back and told him that I was sorry but that I didn't feel right about...
