Idiots guide to polishing? by lavachickie
I'm a glass fuser, and about to pair that up with some PMC play. It's been a loooong time since my metalsmithing class, and then we used these industrial machines for polishing and the like.

Paste solder - how to use? by Robin
Can someone give me the mechanics of using paste solder for jump rings? Do you open the jump ring, apply the solder to one of the ends and then close it? I have tried it this way but it just seems to knock the solder out of the way when I close it. Or do you put a tiny bit on top of the joint...

ancient magnification optics? by bugbear
I have been repeatedly impressed by the beautiful, and tiny, detail in some ancient artefacts, especially seals and coins. These are commonly examined using at least 10x loupes, to see and appreciate the detail. Indeed, museums often display them under magnification.

Pyramid Bead Cap by Charlie
I've got these beautiful lampwork beads sitting here, but the only problem is they're cubes. I thought it would be quite cool to wire them with a cap above and below except for the obvious problem that they're square, and not the more usual round. so I think to myself I'll make them, then they'll...
