		Part Three When you are young and in love, money doesn’t matter when it comes to giving…its the thought that counts.

Video Project – Adding Resin to a Ring Part Two

February 10th, 2012

		Part Two Now Andrew has made his ring with raised edges, there is so much he could do with it. Adding resin to the groove in the middle seemed a colourful idea and with Valentines Day approaching, red seemed an appropriate colour. A special type of resin is needed for this project, thixotropic. The resin, although it can be mixed and it is runny whilst being mixed, it soon becomes thick and non runny when left alone. Strange but true.

Back 2 Basics – Set Your Sights on Your Heights

February 3rd, 2012

		Andrew has had so many requests requesting information on starting up your own workshop so Andrew has decided to go Back 2 Basics. So now we have decided on the type of bench we would like, its time to make it fit us. Yes, thats right. We don’t adjust a chair for us to sit at the bench comfortably. We work the other way round. First we get a chair and not any old chair. Then we adjust the chair to fit us then we make the bench fit the chair and us. One size fits all certainly does not apply to jewellers benches. Watch as Andrew shows you the correct way to be able to spend time at your bench without any aches and pains.
